Wide Tires -- Any actual benefit?
If I install wide rims and wide tires on my 6x4 will they improve the truck's stability and traction? (wet pavement, dirt roads, etc.)

No, they won't. The only way to improve traction is choosing 6x4 over 6x2 and probably engagin differential lock.

i wish they could have changed traction, stability, breaking distances...

maybe with a future patch.

You can do all of that in your profile setup. Well, maybe not traction, but there are sliders for stability and braking. If you set stability to maximum, you'll likely never tip and setting braking to full seems to give you phenomenal traction as well as a very short stopping distance.

lol, dont count on it. But as Twelvefield said, you can change the stability of the cabin and the outside , and you can change the breaking strenght, through game options, but more than that, the game is very limited in that matter.
