Most of the Pan-Am is pretty tame from what I can remember. There are lots of washouts which create construction zones with dirt in Mexico and Guatemala. You should be fine with tires like Metzler Tourances for example. If you are riding 2 up then I think that is your best option for tires. I think you should do some kind of off road motorcycle training course with your wife before the trip. Having someone else train your wife and you about situations and falling will raise her confidence on the trip.
Something more important to worry about is where you can find replacement tires on the trip. It is hard to find a 17" motorcycle tire in many parts of Latin America. What tire size does your bike use?
