Default Skinny vs. Wide Tires

I was just wondering what are the advantages and disadvantages of skinny and wide tires. Any input would be great, thanks.

If your talking about tires on a 4x4,the skinny tall tires will give you more ground clearance plus the skinny tires will tend to dig in the mud searching for hard ground.A wide tire will tend to give you more flotation in the water.A wider tire sometimes tend to be a bit heavier also.Hope this helps a little.

Skinny tires are a lot easier to turn when you're trail riding.
