I am replacing the tire with Size 205/50zr17 (Car tire). Because of extreme hot climate motorcycle tires are getting cracked easily.
Last time I replaced with Shinko Verge 180/55r17. After 15k kilometers tire cracked.
Really I don't know what are the problems I am going to face in future but still excited... haha..

Will update the riding comfort soon...

Welcome to the club! Have you received your cookies yet? ;) You should be able to get 35-40K kilometers out of your Darkside read tire. It will handle "different", but not bad. Play with the air pressure until you find one you are comfortable with.

I went dark side about 2 weeks ago for the first time. So far, I love it. I was only getting 7-10,000kms from a motorcycle tire. I look forward to many more kms on the car tire. I am at 28 lbs for now. Still playing with the pressure for most comfortable responsive ride.
I will say it is more stable on gravel roads.
