If so what size and what tire would you get? Thanks!!
Comes down to what measurable improvements you want with bigger tyre.

Do you want to go 1-sec/lap faster at X-track?
Or you want to go 2-sec/lap faster at Y-track?

Results should be quantified in exact terms, then we can work backwards and offer some suggestions. Some candidates:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005UGHYF8/ Pirelli
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AC5DEK6/ Continental

Note that due to squeezing bigger tyre onto narrow rim, profile (curve) of tyre will be pinched. You won't be able to lean bike over far enough to use extra width at edges. So functionally, bigger tyre has as much useable area as stock one anyway.
