If you do some careful analysis you will see that the actual thread width varies quite a bit within the correct tire size. For example the Yokohama AD08 has a wider thread width than Supersports in 245/35/19 and yet you still retain the proper ///M tuned sidewall height and diameter. Go to tire rack specs and check it out.
AD08 is only marginal faster than PSS in the dry, but is no comparison to PSS in the wet. However, we are all awaiting on the feedback for the AD08R that has just come out. It is supposed to be close to 2s faster in the dry compare to AD08 on a 1' track.
