The old Porsches did pretty well on skinnies.

But I don't think 20mm width will be the biggest variable with any tire change.

I went from 235 to 265 and didn't notice more cornering capability- but then I wasn't looking for it either. So for ordinary driving it didn't matter but for exploring the limits it might have.
