Lots of factors at play here... Beetles are light (especially in the nose) so only need a small tyre compared to other cars. I give myself a sore neck in motorsport with only 195/205 tyres (semi-slick) and in fact any wider (especially on the front) doesn't heat up sufficiently

One advantage, to a point, of WIDER tyres on light cars, is you can run softer compounds at lower pressures, which on theory make it a quicker car, but again, it comes back to good brake temperature to heat the bigger tyre to best operating temperature. |
