Just drive smooth. Also if you are interested, don't buy new tyres off the rack, if you can let them harden up over say a year then put them on.

I was taught to brake prior to the corner , changegear&accelerate gentlyaround the corner & take thestraightest line trough itwithout crossing centre line . Dont know if it extends life of tyresthough .

In theory, a well designed and constructed road corner traveled at the design speed should balance the effects of gravity and centrifugal force force so that the down-force on the vehicle is perpendicular to the surface of the road. meaning there is no additional sideways friction compared to driving a straight section of road.

Run a consistant pressure and use a tire tread gauge to measure tread depth over time. If your centre tread goes shorter thsn the outer tread, your over inflated. If it wears even across the tread, your pressue is good.

drive the corners like you have a cup full of scalding coffee gripped between your thighs

may have been the case 20 or 30 years ago when you put them in storage to continue curing- todays tyres are made to be used straight away - different compounds
