It just looks bad because:
  • RSR set the pressures at a level to give good grip.
  • The car is inclined because teh driver is up on the kerb
  • The camera angle. The video taker is a good bit higher than the track there because there is an embankment
The tyres are clearly rolling on the sidewalls, I don't think that's good for grip.
The police have much higher pressures than recommended by manufacturers on their cars which are needed for high speed chases.
