"wider is better"
Yes, in terms of :
*tends to give better handling around corners/turns
*looks .... maybe, in the eye of the beholder
No, in terms of:
*not as good as a narrower tire in rain and/ or ice/snow situations'
*more contact surface on the ground yields less mpg
*wider = more weight in comparison to something more narrow = less mpg
*tends to be more expensive, per tire vs. a standard stock size(ex. for 15" a 185, 195.. or even a 205 are reasonable priced, anything 215+gets up there
Think about it.
