talking from experience, the difference between 175 and 185 is very noticable with my car, also on a mates vp with 205s it chirpies big time into second with 225s there is nothing. Makes sense to me that the more tyre on the ground the more grip/friction? Braking also improves dramatically with wider tyres


Until you add some variables, like water, and then the wider the tyre, the quicker you start aquaplaning.

I'm certainly no genius on this issue, but there must be a maximum point at which the benefits of a wider tyre start to become eroded.
