If you mount a 120 instead of 110 on the same wheel, it'll be pinched a bit more, so the profile becomes more curved/pointed at the contact patch.

If you then also increase pressure, making the contact area even more pointed on a semi-circular tyre, handling will be negatively affected - it'll become very twitchy .
