The Dark Side For those members running "Car Tires" on their scoots. This is for their discussion only and not a place for "non dark siders" to mouth off about their negative opinions of this idea!

This is news to me!

Can you find a car tire narrow enough to fit on a FXDWG?

The flhtc isn't going to give you enough room to use the sidewalls on the mt anyway. When the center line is down to the cord, the sidewall threads will still be there.
If you know a little history of Harley, you'll find that they used to sell them with car tires for over half a century. Now, all of a sudden, cts are dangerous?
