One word, trapezoid! Wider tire means more surface which will lead to more grip. At least that's how my mind works. Tire compound would be the next step.
But more rubber also means less acceleration, unless...TURBOOOO
I am super charged right now and will be "TURBOOOOO" in the next 3 months Just have to find some time to let the baby go for a week for the install.

the lost of acceleration from upgrading tire width wouldn't be that much. I firmly believe that the grip around the turn is more fun than the power down a straight even if it is boosted. I LOVE BOOST, but i prefer hugging the corner with one hand fliping off the vette driver who just cut me off right before the on ramp.
