Thanks carleton.

Just the opposite, actually. Because the wider rim spreads the tire beads apart and creates a more consistent tire profile - instead of the sidewalls bulging out and giving your tire the shape of a light bulb - it results in less sidewall flex and better traction while turning, even at high speeds.
