You can't look at this one dimensionally, either. There is no straightforward wider is better/worse explanation.

It depends on the tire compound being used, sidewall ratio, surface driven on, intended use (straight line, corners), suspension setup, and many other factors.

But it is safe to say that there is a point where too skinny is bad and way wide is bad.
