There are times wider tires are nicer but those times are rare. We did a ride on a frozen lake that had about 4-6in of crusty snow we were riding through, it was just soft enough I could not float on it but crunchy enough that even though the terrain was flat we were in granny granny and pushing hard. I was on a Mukluk and a friend of mine was on a moonlander and when we switched bikes for a bit you really appreciated those wider tires believe it or not.
