More nimble styeering

Probably better off going with a wider, more round rear tire, which should get you exactly what you want.

Wouldn't a wider tire slow down steering?

Normally, yes, but the tire we have on our bike (which is spec'd specifically for it, and very "vintage") is very square. A wider tire, usually spec'd for a sport bike, is MUCH rounder.
