Tires on a Lees-ure lite

I have decided to give up on a used Lees-ure lite and purchase a new one thanks to their NAFTA sale. I have heard multiple times I should get the wider tires because they will handle better. The owner said they only offer the wider tires because people want them, not because there is real benefit besides increased wear.


What are your thuoghts?

I have found that wider tires can usually take less air pressure and thus ride better. They also are better in soft ground, as you're likely to encounter when camping.
