Wider tires give you more traction, better handling. However, they also tend to increase tramlining (wanting to follow grooves in the pavement instead of going straight) and have a higher rolling resistance (can reduce fuel economy).

Low profile tires have a smaller, stiffer sidewall, and can corner better, but don't absorb bumps in the road as well as taller tires.
