Default Wider Tires = Harder Launch?

As the tile says, Does having wider tires allow you to launch harder?

Reason i ask is few forums say that it doesn't matter about width but quality of tire.

Example: i have ART Sport 2 Tires on at the moment, they are 245 wide, would upgrading to the 265 allow to me launch harder or will it just matter on tred / tire quality?

Kind of a rookie question sorry, not a tire wiz :P

Anyway, I appreciate any help.

By the way, im not looking for top of the range tires as i don't have that much power. just looking for a harder launch to drop .2 sec off my time.
