Would buying a set of drag radials, such as the Nitto NT555R hurt handling performace over a tire such as the Nitto NT555?

NT555R

NT555

I'm sure that they would grip better, but I don't know whether drag specific tires like these might be lacking something that typical tires have to reduce sidewall roll in cornering.
