Less Traction??? wt Huaraches?? u member that curve u took in TJ?? ur tires were CRYYIINNGG Right? well why do u Think? there to thin... the wider the better traction u get off corners & less body roll(well if u have suspension work/ components) lower profile tire helps 2. the taller the tire the more it will try to flex on a corner say like a 65 or so.

Less traction shiiiTTT.. LOL LOL BOOOOYYY :P

Thats Probably Y, & also taking off aahhhh ..... i would say Negative... the wider the more traction on take off due to having more contact with pavement or what ever ur on...
most slicks are wide some are thin but the thin ones are the ones that just trail..FWD u see people running wider slicks n regular rear tires..RWD fronts are thin & rear are Wide, I'm not saying go ahead n use slicks lol its just an example ; P, obviously those cars have more HP but u get the point hahaha
