So, what's the point of wide tires? Is it just down to a weaker structure yielding a slightly larger contact patch? Is it to have a larger air volume to resist heating from the brakes?

I guess you were saying it's to have a wider-shaped contact patch for better lateral grip, but is that really all?

Anyway, now I don't feel so bad about going only 275mm. I was thinking I maybe should have pushed for 285, but wanted to play it safe.
