If you mean wider tires it gives you more traction on dry or wet roads. since the wider the tire the more rubber contacts the ground. Note that wider tires are horrible for snow since they have atendency for floating on top of the snow which causes the tire to never hit the road so therefor you have minimum traction. Wide tires in summer skinny tires in winter.

You recalibrate it because bigger tires mean different speeds... for example, lets say your car had 14 inch tires... and your speedometer is saying that you are going 50, if you add 20 inch tires which is 6 inches bigger, you might be going around 60-70. No need to get a speeding ticket. Bigger tires cover more road then smaller tires, for example for ever 1 turn from a 20 inch tire is like 1 and ahalf turns from a 14 inch... Hope Ive helped you understand why :)
