Measure your ride height before you switch wheels and then lower the bike to the same height after.

So basically I can use the standard tire CBRBob mentioned and adjust the ride height accordingly?
I've been running BT020's/014 and similar Metz. I dont know if I am doing things right or I am just a pansy with the throttle, but I've yet to feel my tires slide in dry weather. I'm not really sure when I should step up to the softer compound/slick/race tires etc. but I am fine with my gradual progression for now.
Thank you for your input gentlemen!
Tommy... I'm only changing tires at your place if you're coming to VIR with us.
