if you are doing it right the tire size is the maximum that will fit in the fender anyway. its just the rims that are much wider. so you arent really losing any contact patch, you just have a better looking rim with a stiffer sidewall.
also, more contact patch is worse in the rain. think of a skimboard. heavier riders need bigger boards to stay on top of the water.
uneven tire wear comes from a bad alignment. you would have to be an idiot to let your tires wear down that far and have them blow out. it doesnt happen overnight.
btw where have you been the last 10 years?
