Do you go out on many ride outs? I found this helped me out quite a lot as most of them I ride with are or used to be IAM and no ones rides like a dick head. Once you realise there not riding dangerously you get to see how far they can lean over and know it's safe even though you might think your doing a Rossi.
As for tyres, I don't think it makes any difference. I did have BT14's on the bike when I first got it last year and they were nasty in the wet and cold but good in the dry. I now have PR4's and while these are a lot better in the wet and cold I can't seem to lean as much in the dry - they feel more pointed to the BT14's and I now realise how good they were in the dry.
The chicken strips - I hate that word - on the 14's was about 3/4mm. On the PR4's after about 400 miles are about 1 1/2 inches even though I still think I ride and lean the same.
