Default What really is the benefit of a 180 vs 160?

I am curious what the benefit is of a 180 or 190 tire on the rear compared to a 160. Wouldn't the contact patch still be the same size? I am about to go from a 4.5" wheel with a 160 to a 5.5" wheel with a 180 on my 900SS CR. What will I notice to be different? Thanks.
