Skinny tyres tend to do far more damage to tracks than wider tyres especially when the useless bastards don't air down.[bigsad]
There is also the advantage with wider tyres being able to take a heavier load[thumbsupbig]
Don't get me wrong in Some situations a skinny tyre is better than a wide one But overall wider tyres tend to be a better choice.
I run 245/70/16's on my D2a which are neither a skinny or a wide tyre and they do everything I ask from them However on the beach the 265/75/16's I have fitted to my Navara and my 79 series seem to do the job much easier.
As Most of my off road work is either on the beach or on rocky limestone tracks carrying/towing heavy loads I find the wider/taller tyres perform the best for me in these conditions.
