Default Crazy Thought on Tires

This one is out there but...

Anyone ever consider going with tires that are less grippy than the OEM tires?

The reason I was wondering is because I primarily drive my car on the street and for all practical purposes will never be able to get close to the cars limits. However, if you put on less grippy tires you can have a bit of fun sliding the Z around here and there. (Think BRZ on their stock tires as an example. I wonder if the people driving on those are having more fun than with super sticky tires?)

Especially with the Nismo's incredible chassis I wonder if this would be more fun on a day to day basis, not to mention much cheaper on the wallet. Hell even if it's just for a year to see how it goes and if it's awful, just toss them and get RE-11's or whatever.

Thoughts? Anyone have a BRZ/FRS and drive on stock vs aftermarket tires?
