rolling a car - how likely?

Hey. I'm contemplating buying a set of 17x7 Kosei ks-ts for my 07 si coupe - car is stock, soon to have HFP suspension. Seller has a set of hoosiers A6 mounted. A friend of mine told me theres a risk of rolling the car with that setup. I asked wtf he was talking about he said "breakaway left-rights in a saturn (low-cg) on slicks make em roll" I can see that happening on an hard off camber turn, or if I hit a rut in the pavement. But with the hfp suspension and a decent alignment I think I should be ok. I don't understand why slicks would make a car rolling much more likely so I thought I'd try to get a decent explanation here. Threads like these make me think twice.
