That's what Car and Driver just attempted to do, by only swapping tires and measuring on a skid pad:

I remember putting used race tires on my spongy suspension street car back in college just for fun. The car became a handful since the tires would attempt to put cornering loads into the car that the springs/shocks couldn't keep up with! Not a big deal on a smooth skid pad perhaps, but it would be challenging on the street in this Leaf.
