Why the need for a 335 tires on a car only putting less than 500whp to the ground?

Besides cosmetically obviously. It looks badass. Just seems like an awful lot of work and money when a 275 will fit most peoples needs on a roadcourse.
Most guys who minitub and run 335s are not running 235/255 up front. 95% I see run 275s in front, usually with an aftermarket sub.

And I don't see many 335 rear tire/minitubbed guys with less than 500rwhp.
