I tried out the specialized slaughter (very similar to the rock razor) and I found the cornering grip to be excellent, I experienced very little slide and only really when first leaning in to corners.
I see slaughter/rock razor as fairly specialist tyres though - weight/size on my slaughter 2.3 was a bit excessive for trail riding, climbing grip was poor, if used for gnarly steep DH braking grip may be problematic. I prefer the current Ground Control 2.3 even though outright cornering grip is way less.
