The displacement of the tire contact from B TO C is just a side note to the discussion which is more relevant to comparing different tire/ wheel widths.

Your drawing shows how as the CoG A moves lower in the bike towards B, the distance that it is displaced to the left for any given lean angle is less. Which gives the mass less lateral offset to create a force vector to counter being thrown to the outside of the turn.
