Think of it this way. Cut off the bottom arc of a thick and thin tire and carefully place each tire segment in a kiddie pool so that it floats. Start emptying marbles in both the thick and thin floating tire segments. The thick tire segment will most likely support a greater weight of marbles before sinking. Although the contact patch may not be the best indicator of tire width, the volume of water displaced by a thick and thin tire are different.

Move only if there is a real advantage to be gained...when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.
