Higher grip results in higher g forces, which causes the car to lean more. Harder sidewalls are better, yes, but the softer compound is more important. Running in very low traction conditions will result in less body roll and vice versa. I don't know any physics terms really to explain it, but the general rule is the higher the grip the more lean and the lower the grip the less lean.
