In general this auto width code seems super annoying.  Consider this 

>From ox-latex.el:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
 (width (cond ((plist-get attr :width))
	      ((plist-get attr :height) "")
	      ((eq float 'figure) "0.7\\textwidth")
	      ((eq float 'wrap) "0.48\\textwidth")
	      (t org-latex-image-default-width)))
#+END_SRC

Consider the following example: 

#+BEGIN_SRC org

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(make-local-variable 'org-latex-image-default-width)
(setq org-latex-image-default-width "")
#+END_SRC

#+NAME:firm-ts-fig
#+CAPTION: test
[[file:figs/test.tikz]]

no caption
[[file:figs/test.tikz]]

#+END_SRC

This exports as:

#+BEGIN_SRC LATEX
\begin{figure}[htb]
\centering
\resizebox{0.7\textwidth}{!}{\input{figs/test.tikz}}
\caption{\label{firm-ts-fig}test}
\end{figure}

no caption
\input{figs/test.tikz}
#+END_SRC

To me it is not intuitive why a certain width is imposed on me because
I add a caption. . .

Could we consider removing:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
 ((eq float 'figure) "0.7\\textwidth")
 ((eq float 'wrap) "0.48\\textwidth")
#+END_SRC

and maybe changing the default value of org-latex-image-default-width
to something non-intruding?
