When I first heard about a car tire on a motorcycle, I too had my doubts. Then I was talking with my Dad, (others, please be patient, Yes I've told this before!!) and he told me that the car tire on a motorcycle was nothing new. When he came back from the war, (WWII) the soldiers were all putting car tires on their Indians and Harleys because they weren't making motorcycle tires. The rubber was going for more important things, like the war effort. Now, if it worked way back then...with the trash tires they had, why wouldn't it work so much better now with the newest technology in tire innovation??? Also, does the owners of the Boss Hoss factory not know from nothin' when they ship those 500HP motorcycles with a .....what???????....a car tire on the back. Anyways.....read more about it and make up your OWN mind. The folk who trash a car tire on a bike...most have never ridden one. We, who have gone this route, wouldn't do it if it was unsafe or wouldn't put our life or the life of our riders in jepardy if it wasn't anything but safe. Yes, it will take a few miles to get used to the "feeling" or the more pronounced countersteer, but you have to countersteer anyways, just you don't realize it as much with a motorcycle tire. Just try steering into a corner with one hand, and you'll really get to know "countersteering" up close and personal
!! Anyways, just my 2 (non)cents. Take care and Semper-fi MIke __________________A bullet can have a name on it,
