Tire size and circles??

ok right now i have 2.5 street tires on my bike.
sit down tight circles i have no problems with the tire, but when i am doing standup tight circles the tire wants to keep giving in and buckling up.

i have plenty of air pressure in the tire, almost max.

my tire needs replacing about now anyways, and i was thinking of going to 2.75 or 3. Do these bigger tires help out when doing tight circles when all the weight is on the back wheel??

Well, the only time the 2.5's slip is when I'm doing them really low and fast.. for anything else I actually prefer the smaller tire
