CasualObserver 3,406 #2 Posted March 24, 2009 Jerrell, the wider tires have better flotation and are less likely to make ruts in softer ground. Less pounds per square inch of tire touching the ground. Traction, flotation and weight distribution, in my opinion, what you use is all about the application you need for your specific circumstances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
