Car Tire on Motorcycle

[Jim 5]

Mori,

Why not bus tires? They would last wayyyyy longer than the mfg. recommended tires. There might be some small handling "quirks" though.

The mfg. recommended tires, after all, are all about profit margins anyway.

I took off the OEM garbage (GY A/S RSA) and replaced them with a set of decent summer tires within a few weeks of getting the car.


In case some resident geniuses didn't get it, I was being facetious about mounting bike tires. I should find it sad that I actually have to point that out, but I find it hysterical.

Mori,

Why not? Get you some good 145 PSI Fortezza SE's. Imagine the hydroplane resistance and the lack of rolling resistance. You'll get 50 mpg on those things!

I don't need tires or even wheels.

To add insult to injury, that tire in the first pic appears to be a winter Nokian WR. Pretty cr@ppy steering response, especially during summer months.

quattro pete, its a good thing then that his bike doesnt have rear wheel steering.....

If my import bike had that many problems from the get go I'd just buy a Harley. Oops, wrong forum
