Depends on the size of the vehicle really - if its a standard size for that vehicle it shouldn't be much different response from 1 to another. Obviously the trend to lower profile tyres over the last 15 years has resulted in far less loss of control accidents as the tyre doesn't move about so much on initial deflation
Going to extremes the stretched look isn't great for tyres as you're putting more stress on the sidewall all the time. Too wide for the wheel and it'll move about like a higher profile tyre (although without the car dropping as much!)
