re:Car Tires on motorcycles. I saw this posted in the pictures/video thread a few months back. Too scary for me.

It isn't the square profile that scares me, it is the fact that car tires are designed to last 20-80 thousand miles. That is some hard rubber. Even the sport tires are too hard. People who do this, especially in the videos, are those who are hiking boot wearing fools without any sense beyond the cent.

I have no problem with using cheap tires (IRC) on my 12hp Derbi Supermotard as I physically can't over-power my tires. On my Honda 599 though, I have no qualms with dumping over a hundred bucks a tire. I can't fathom someone who has spent the monies necessary to obtain a Goldwing yet insists on skimping on tires. If you're cheap, be gentle on that blessed rubber you have.
