I'm just wondering would any parts drag before the bike is leaned all the way. Would it be safer with more performance-oriented tires to lean more?

Yes and yes, tires are key, if you plan on "spirited" riding, buy the best sport tire you can, it is amazing how much grip they will offer.
Your spikes on the front pegs will probably be the first to touch down, followed by maybe your sidestand on the lefthanders.
As I said in my prior post, increase your speed slowly otherwise you will be owning a streetfighter.
