the wider tyre might get more traction but the height of it isnt very good if you intend of driving sideways around corners all the time

4wd's as in landcruisers and such not skylines etc. have tall sidewalls as it is better for offroad especially as when the car is 'bogged' the trick is to let out most of the air and to have about 10psi left which makes the tyre 'fatter' as part of the sidewall becomes the base tread

im thinking out loud here but wouldnt a car with say 225/10/17's
accidentally hit a speedbump a bit too fast (or a gutter, pothole etc.) have more chance of damaging the wheel than a normal sized tyre ?...like a 225/50/15
