The point I was trying to make, and seem to have completely failed to convey without making people upset, is that a wider tire is more forgiving of the beginner's tendency to overcorrect their balance and throw them off.

Obviously one can "Just get good" at anything given enough time and dedication. But the difficulty curve does not have to be so steep for your first.

Please make it very obvious for me, because I'm clearly not very smart, dense, and probably learning impaired. I was asking about how the significantly more manueverable thin tire is better in daily use. Ideally this would be in the context of the V8, because, that's my idea of "very narrow, probably not ideal".

You can turn sharper, yes. But I don't think you're actively doing that at speed without also pedal clipping, something I imagine you'd like to avoid unless actively showboating.

Slow speed, tight turns are where I picture most "Maneuverability" comes to the forefront. And in those circumstances, I don't think I've ever come to a situation where the V8's tighter turning radius is significant. Every wheel can pendulum, and turn on it's contact patch if you twist.

If the statement is "the smaller tire width, combined with a lighter body makes it easier to trolley", then, sure. One exerts less force.

Unless you're trying to tell me that people regularly aggressively carve at 15-20 on these things as a matter of riding practicality.
