Small skinny tire:
1). Lighter weight = Faster suspension response.

2). More consistent and faster sidewall flex = Outer tire drags on the ground to provide traction and driver feedback through the frame.

3). Some traction is always better than none..... i.e. sporadic skipping and hopping.
(unless of course you are at cars and coffeve.)
Please refer to #2 above.

4). No high-speed pressure area is created at the tire-to-surface arc zone..which creates lift at high higher speeds.

5). Smaller contact area = More psi = More traction
