Look Into Upping the tire size but don't go past rim design limits,
Fatter tires eat bumps better and do not cause more rolling resistance in most riding conditions, the roadies may not agree tho,,,

Also My 451 x 20 on my TE next to the 406 x 20 from my EZ-1, Its what's on yours I think:
Thanks! I switched to a pair of Kenda K-Rad tires, 1.95 rear and 2.125 front, 40 to 65 psi, my first ride was with the rear at 50psi and the front at 45, I still have plenty of clearance on the sides and top of forks and stays, makes me wonder what the max would be?? :~) what a difference in ride quality and I didn't notice a lot more resistance, although that is hard to measure. Thanks for all the input. MK
