Full use of the tire sides is really dependant on the geometry of the bike and type of tires fitted.

Narrower tires and smaller wheels really helps in this (bragging) department. I know because I went frow narrow to a little fatter (and taller) tires and while the bike feels much safer I certainly have not been going slower "knee out"
