Tire 120/70 vs 120/60

Is there a difference when landing a wheelie with a 120/70 tire vs a 120/60 tire? I know that the 60 turns a lot better, but was wondering if the 60 is also more likely to give you tank slapper or just make it easier to crash.

The only difference I would think is that it would be alot easier to bend a wheel if you slam it down really hard..Like my truck had 255/35/20 on it and I was bending rims all the time cause the tires had such a short side wall..

120/60 is crazy dangerous. Always run the 70.
