Wide tyres offer improved grip and handling, especially on dry roads, making them a popular choice for high-performance and sports cars.
Their larger contact patch enhances cornering stability and braking efficiency. However, they can also increase rolling resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption and potentially faster tread wear.
In wet or snowy conditions, wider tyres are more prone to aquaplaning as they struggle to cut through standing water or snow effectively.
Narrower tyres, on the other hand, provide better traction in winter by concentrating the vehicle’s weight over a smaller surface area, improving grip.
Ultimately, whether wide tyres are better depends on your driving conditions.
