I am going to set aside my DS pitchfork for this thread ;P
Why don't people put actual grippy tires on when going DS?
Examples -

The first section has RA1s and 888s, symmetrical design, way stickier than the stuff I see most people put on.
There is also the Proxes R1R not shown there, same compound as the RA1s bit with deeper tread voids caused by thicker tread blocks. Done to achieve the street legal 140 wear rating.
Just curios, I expect the near R compound rubber would let you corner quite hard, have have phenomenal straight line grip, and still last longer than a MT.
