Default Car Tire on a Breakout
Saw this picture on Facebook. Don't think this will work out to well. But maybe I'm wrong.

I've heard about it being done before on bikes. Just never seen one that wide and flat. I would like to see it in some sharp turns.

I read where touring riders use them that ride long distances..they last 3 times as long for half the price...a MC tire won't last a complete vacation ride for some guys.

Isn't the Dark Side all about running car tires?

Well, I can't see that picture...but then, I can't see any of the uploaded pictures in these posts, anymore....not sure what happened.

Maybe...if I put a car tire on the back of my laptop!....

Can't see where you would have much contact patch leaned over and turning . I bet that would be interesting on wet roads especially. More power to them. Not for me though.
