A bike standing up under braking isn't so much of a tire issue as it is a geometry issue. Changing tires can change the geometry in a way that it exadurates or eliminates the problem, but ultimately up to you to find a tire you like & adjust the geometry (if possible) accordingly.

Braking should actually make it EASIER to get the bike turned in as it compresses the front end making the bike more flickable.
