I’d be interested to see if anybody can respond with a technical answer to this question.
You would think there would valid performance reasons but when you’re talking about contact pressure on the road surface for a given area it really doesn’t change as the weight of the car doesn’t change (ignoring aero).
There are reasons why narrower tyres are better in some scenarios (eg snow), but wider tyres have a number of disadvantages, some of which are mentioned above.
