Bull. What's unsafe is if you run them long enough with low enough pressure that there's sidewall damage, which will result in eventual failure even after the puncture is fixed. That's why you want to carry repair materials on board, so you don't have to drive on them for a long distance before making the repair.

Good idea, not for just fit reasons. The wider you go the more road friction there is, which increases road noise, lowers fuel economy and gives reduced tread life.
