I dont think thats what he is trying to get across. I think he means..2 sets of tires of the same size...and same tred pattern(not slicks in this situation)..but one set of tires bring a little wider than the other! Identical wheels and tires..tires just being a little wider on the one set! nothing about comparing little doughnut tires to slicks!
and he is correct btw...if the tires are the same..the wider one will not provide any more/less traction than the little bit thinner one, taking in consideration that the conditions are the same!
