For cornering/sliding a lower rear tire is better. Made a huge difference when I went from my stock 22" to Razr 20" rear. Depending on what you do, you may even go lower. Also, a taller rim will lessen the height of the tire. I also went one size smaller up front (21") but kept it one size larger than the rear. I like how it handles much better now.

i just got my new razr 2s today and i love the way the way they slide in the turns. a wide tire on new rims will make your handling better. especially if your on those stock warrior tires. those things suck azz.
