The "wide vs skinny" tire debate between off-roaders has been going on forever, largely based on personal circumstance and anecdotal evidence. In this excellent video by Tinkerer's Adventure, the myths are put to the test, proven, and busted, with real work testing to demonstrate the practical performance differences.
For me, skinny tires are always going to be the go-to on my 70 series wagon, but watch the above, and decide what's best for you.
Kai also does a range of similar videos on suspension and other 4x4 modifications, all backed by measurable testing. Check out his channel for great testing on four-wheel-drive modifications using the link in the video.
