Agreed; Tramlining is more typical in wider tires. Wider tires tend to follow the grooves in the road more.
Comfort difference between a comparable compound narrow tire and wide tire would likely be negligible. The large difference will be in tire thickness, as determined by wheel diameter.
Thus, a 265/45/17 will ride more comfortably than a 225/40/19 while any difference between a 265/35/19 & 225/40/19 would be negligible.
