They can be louder for road noise.
Wide tires tend to follow ruts in the road.
They will be more likely to hydroplane.
You will get worse MPG.
They are not needed on a low power car.
They are also weigh more.
They cost more.
They can also kill the "feel" of the road.

Dont get me wrong there are advantages to a wider tire but on the street as a daily I don't see the point. Maybe if you are going a specific look then go for it I guess.
