I'm not being mean, but some of this may be in your head, trying to match a memory that may not be at all accurate. It happens.
Brands vary. Tire models vary. Even sizes in the same model vary. Here's the same Dunlop rear in three sizes. One steers like a truck, one has less grip at lean, one is sublime. All are completely usable and feel "normal."
Then there's tire pressure, surface material, temperature, and more. Maybe have someone else ride it and provided feedback, or ride another if the dealer has one?
Bike geometry, which is nearly always wrong from the factory. Suspension. What you're feeling through the seat and bars and pegs. How tight you're holding on and even the stiffness in your arms will all have huge effects on how the bike "feels." Is your a$$ on the seat or is some weight on your legs?
I think that you're looking for a tire solution for a tire non-problem. $.02 worth...certainly worth less.

And don't even get me going about brake pads. lol It is oil...all over again.
