As Kayla850 said
the 3EN2 had a 140/70 18 as standard
but it sounds like the suspension is going at the back if it's pushing it's tyres (I assume they're good ???) wide. These should corner until the can and pags touch

What tyre pressure are you running ?

they should usually be about 34 / 36.

Ask a bike garage to check the wheel bearings for/with you - it shouldn't take more than 10mins. This is just to be sure, but other than suspension that's about it.

not much it's the standard size.
Try a 150 you might get more choice ... it's an NC30 fitment too.
