If anything, they engineer the tyres to have lower grip because you want it to slide in extreme maneuvers, cause then you have the dsc to catch it and the driver has options to counter steer out. If the tyre grips hard in that situation you have no options cause it will probably roll over. It's the safer option believe it or not. Argue all you want about this, and i'm sure someone will want to, but it's what they do. It's the safer option.

Triton is a smaller ute 75mm shorter 45mm narrower wheelbase is 220mm shorter ( that's why it has best in class turning circle ) it's also 68mm lower than a ranger wildtrack according to carsguide review on 2018 models , it's lower than it is narrower so I don't see how it can have a high centre of gravity :
