Aside from the rolling resistance, there's also the aerodynamic drag to consider.
60mm (almost 2.5") narrower on every tyre is a lot.

Would we not all be rolling around on the widest tires available if they key to minimizing resistance was a wider tire?

All eco-cars built as such, are rolling on narrow tyres - usually the skinniest tyres found on a given model.

Yeah.
