Nikons are front wheel drive?

No. Chain to the rear wheel

Then why is it being said they  would have more traction?

Because they have two front wheel contact patches.

well i suppose but its not traction like power to the wheels.
and i assume over irregular surfaces both tires won't be equal in contact path.
a single fatter tire seems to make more sense.

Spent all Sunday on a 600 mile ride.
Hunting a White Whale.
Going to be on an Advil-drip for today, at least. :)
I will try to make a coherent post later.
