Moto GP=spare no expense, not likely it represent anything remotely close to daily commute or even aggressive level of street riding.
Tire manufacturers have even less incentive to research car tire application on motorcycles that would likely compete with their motorcycle tire sales that require more frequent changes in less mileage.

You learn how the car tire behaves under different conditions just like any new tires you would mount on your bike.
Initially it may be different that what you are used to, but after 4-500 miles, you eventually learn how to operate your vehicle as your riding requires.
