Well to me since it has the Tour Pak and saddle bags, it's a sport style bike turned into a cruiser, at least in my book which is usually wrong lol. Now lets see a car tire on a Busa, Ducati or any other crotch rocket and then see how it does in the twisties.

Look at that bike carefully. It is set up for long distance runs.

The rider of that bike is more concerned with getting a lot of miles from his tires than debating whether car tires work on a motorcycle.. Clearly no one has told him they won't work...

And as blaphemous as this is, My next bike will almost certainly be a sports tourer. I will keep the HD, but want something different to cover the long miles.

No reason to do it to the front, I already get 20,000 miles on it. And, if I can't find a back tire, what are the odds I can get a 100/90-19 skinny car tire for the front?

I use car tires on my car. They work well.

I made my comment with tongue-in-cheek. I would run a car tire on my Dyna if I could find a tire that fits. I've searched to the best of my knowledge, no car tires will fit on a Dyna.
