For off-road use with outer beadlock wheels.(Braid system B Beadlock which is a lighter duty Beadlock)

I was thinking the narrowest wheel with the widest tyre would flatten out more for a given air pressure and be an advantage in straight line drive traction over a wider wheel.

But I'm not sure. What do you think ?

Lots of sand use including towing and launching boats from the beach, some mud, and some rock climbing.
