firekat: my bet would be on lowering grip by purpose to ease power oversteer even .. with stock lack of power, and for more fun of feeling driving at limits even at legal speeds. Also twins are rather light, so don't need as wide tires as eg. some heavier bmws or musclecars. As sidegain - also better economy and longer lasting tires, but main purpose was as above, due targeting car for youth / some predecessor AE86 legacy / popularity as drift car (at least in image).
From those that go for widest tires possible, i guess 9/10 do so because they think that adding wide tires "like on supercars" they will never afford will make it closer to ones, or to lesser extent some that don't know how to deal with any loss of grip and just try to throw as much grip as possible. Rest, 1/10, do so to maximize lateral grip in auto-x within class limits, or for more grip if installed forced induction.
