I've noticed that there is a lot of talk about new wheels(17'sto 20's),but not about new tires that are the same dia.only wider. On past cars, I found the ride a little smoother on tires that are 1 to 2 times over the OE width. Any thoughts?

My guess is slightly wider (much over 1 times is huge) would result in a somehat softer ride, but would hurt steering accuracy and tread wear. Am I misunderstanding the question?
