Tall skinny fan here as well. I've used
33 x 9.50 BFG MT's (before they dropped that size, 85 Toyota)
34x10.50 Swamper LTB's (89 Toyota)
33x10.50 BFG AT's (01 Jeep TJ)
235/85/16 Toyo Open Country AT's (92 C2500)
Cornering is hardly an issue. Run proper pressure and drive reasonable and it's just fine. Only the 85 with the ubber skinny BFG MT's ever felt like the tire was "folding" over, and that was when being a complete moron and doing donuts on dry pavement.
The 89 on LTB's was more than solid enough, 16" rims so the tires were load range D (3195 lbs per tire at 60 psi, more than the whole truck weighed). Street pressure was high teens, I wheeled it at 4-6 psi.
I love the 235's on my 3/4 ton. They are excellent in the snow, I was amazed. This year it becomes a plow truck, and I am confident that with enough weight it will work well despite being 2wd.
The thing I love most about skinny tires? You can fit them so much easier! My 89 Toyota wasn't even lifted, just trimmed and massaged. The Jeep spent it's first weekend with 33's with no lift, then got a 2", but eventually ended up down around 1.25" of lift and tons and tons of rock crawling with swaybar disconnects. Everything tucked nicely inside the fenders, so you can get away with less lift.
The 85, 33x9.50 BFG MT's
The 89, 34x10.50 Interco LTB's
The Jeep, 33x10.50 BFG AT's
Dad's Jeep, 33x10.50 BFG AT's (now same size by MT's)
