If you do some testing you should see no difference between 1" and 2" wide. You are providing a bigger area but with the same total downward force (weight of robot) spreading over that larger area you don't gain. Traction is a tricky thing and some controlled tests can be cool.
To the op, we have used and had good success with all. We are using the am 4" performance wheels right now with blue tread from mcmaster. It is a little gripper than am or IFI tread but only comes in wide sizes so it has to be cut (I think 3" is the narrowest)
