What i think moto is saying is the car's initial design was to provide the best possible road performance without relying on tire performance to achieve those goals.
So ultimately.. it doesn't matter if you have the stock tires or high performance tires. The vehicle will have similar driving characteristics. But we are talking about feedback here..not numbers.
It was already proven in a recent video that in terms of quantifiable performance. The Zx6 yields much...much better 1-60 and 1/4 mile times vs stock tires.
So yes....HP tires unlocks lots of the cars potential to be competitive. But unlike most cars..the feeling of greater performance will be hard to notice to the untrained and seasoned driver.
