Actually I don't think millions are wrong, but the situation is slightly different.
He is taking a base vehicle and removing a lot of weight from the design. In this case to prevent the tires from spinning easily it might be prudent to move to a slightly narrower version of the original tires rather than wider to keep similar characteristics. Of course there are many things to consider about the tires and the change in the power train (power:weight ratio), but simply making the tires wider will not increase traction in itself.
