When driving on a long/twisty/bumpy highway, a tall narrow tire is more predictable, but not necessarily better traction.
Better millage too because of its narrow footprint.

When parallel parking 20-50X per day in the city, a smaller diameter tire works better and puts less stress on the steering rack/pump.

All efficiency conditions depend on driving environment and usage.
Everything involves trade-off.
