a taller tyre raises the axle higher off the ground so the rear wheels centre of gravity will be higher,hence more inclined to tip in.As the rear wheel also includes the sprocket and rotor and chain,thats a fair bit of mass thats higher off the ground.raising the rear suspension only,only lifts the rear of the bike and rider a bit further up with the heavy spinning wheel still quite low down.I,ll still stick with a higher profile rear as you don,t have to decrease the trail and rake as much for better turn in.
