Question Tire width and Wet traction?

What makes a tire better at pulling a heavy boat out on a steep, wet, concrete boat ramp? I know tall skinny works good in snow, I know wide tires work good in sand, but my brain cells are arguing the wet boat ramp scenario.

Wider for more footprint, therefore more traction? Skinner, so that the smaller footprint puts down more pounds PSI?

Thoughts?

Are you having problems getting out of a boat ramp? If so you might just want to get a decent set or tires in the stock size.
