Default Does width matter

Does the width of a tire really matter as much as everyone makes it seem? Would a 265 drag radial get better traction than say a 315 street tire?

Im sorry if this is a dumb question but i searched

When I saw the subject, I was thinking it should be *NWS*.

I would say the type of tire is more important than size, but I wouldn't want to go too small on the width.

Width can help=more tire contact to the ground under the right circumstances.
