I have followed a few GLEs with big wide tires and thought that the surface contact on the road should be a lot more than the thinner tires and therefore providing better handling and cornering.
But I asked Chat GPT and it agreed that on dry surfaces the larger tires would provide more control but sacrifices traction in wet or snowy conditions. The wider tires are more subject to hydroplaning. The thinner tire cuts through the water.
Any suggestions? They can come in 19, 20, 21 and 22 inch wheels.

If you want to maximize the wet and snow traction, you'll want to get the 19". That will be the narrowest footprint.
But you didn't tell us what you want the tire to do. Do you need snow traction? Is wet weather an issue? How about wear?
You need to decide these things and then communicate them to us to get a good answer.
