Putting a car tire on the back of a motorcycle is called going to the "Darkside." Yoda said about it "once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny," which may not be true, but it may dominate your discussions with other riders you meet.
This comes up on most motorcycle forums occasionally. I did that a long long time ago, but it was with the old type bias ply tire. It handled like crap. Maybe radials would work better, but I'm not going to find out.
This is no better than a car tire and the bike in the first post actually looks nice from behind. The first one Ive seen that looked good with a car tire!

That looks bitchin'.....I had one on my metric bike and loved it. If it didn't take over 100psi to mount one to a MC rim I would have one on my Dyna. If the seating issue ever gets worked out, I will be coming back to the Dark Side.
