I know it looks that way, but the car tire puts more rubber down on the road in the turns to.
Tim who has an Valkyrie Tourer with an 215/?-16 car tire and my ACE Tourer with an 180/70-16 m/c tire did an experiment.
What we did was to wet a section of cement and road our bikes through the water and measured the width of the wet footprint that the tire left on the dry cement. His tire had almost twice the footprint in an turn than my Dunlop 180 E3, and that was in a sharp turn. With a less sharp of an turn his c/t put an even bigger footprint down and having 5+" on the road in most turns makes for a rear end that won't step out on you. Tim runs 30 to 34 psi in his rear tire so it gives a little to keep most of the tire on the ground even in the turns. I'm sure if you put 44 psi in the car tire it would put less rubber on the ground, but I think it would still put more rubber on the road than the m/t even in an turn.

So many roads so little time !
