Don't get too technical at this point it may just confuse.
Profiles vary but what they are suggesting about the fat part of the tyre is to get the bike vertical as soon as possible when exiting a corner. That is summed up in Simon Crafar's MotoVudu as follows:
"Make the straights as long as possible and the corners as short as possible"
"It's not who gets on the gas first, it is who gets on full gas first."
And for that the bike needs to be upright. There's more detail but that's the guts of it.
There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
