Wider is not necessarily better. Road and Track ran an FR-S with stock tires around the track, then changed them out for stickier tires of the same size (Star Specs) and then wider 18" tires (235s). The wider tires were faster than stock but slower than the stickier stock width tires.

On an Auto-X course though I'm sure the wider tires are faster.
