Car Tire on a Goldwing.. rightside up!
Man, his chicken strips must be huge
A motorcycle is a single track vehicle, it uses weight transfer to turn. A car is a dual track vehicle, it uses friction to turn, excessive weight transfer hinders it's ability to maintain friction/traction. Just using these two simple ideas would be counter to using a car tire on a motorcycle, same holds true for a motorcycle tire on a car. If motorcycle tires simply use a softer compound why wouldnt a race car mount motorcycle tires? The again simple concept of single track vs dual track is all I need to know about what I mount on my bike.
Roland, I will plead that you reconsider your decision, if not for you, then your loved one. I do not want to read of a bad encounter from you or another forum member. You've been around for some time, from what I remember you are a very wise man, wise men know when to swallow their pride. I hope you take this well, it is intended to evoke a level of emotion, not to tick you off, rather to hopefully open your eyes to what I think is tantomount to extreme danger. If you want to be a pioneer, see about adding a nitrous setup (since the turbo is already being done), nitrous has an on and off, a car tire doesnt (well, hopefully it has an off the rim and not an "Off"). Please, please, reconsider the car tire.
