Also the difference between a 23mm tire and 35mm tire has close to as much difference on your ride height, and therefore COG.

And the difference between cornering in the drops and cornering on the hoods is going to be at least as big effect on your COG.

So if you're not cornering in the drops now, doing so will increase your stability, and if you already corner in the drops, a deeper elbow bend will lower your COG.
