Had the same accident happen to me a few years back and ever since I've been gun shy about hard cornering. All I can say about tires is that wider and more supple tires help my confidence levels and seem to provide better grip. I like to run at least 38 mm wide tires, and usually in the highest thread count that's available for whatever brand and model I'm buying.
