In my situation, I will be putting a car tire on the rear of a bike with a sidecar, so the tire will be subjected to forces more similar to being on a car, with the tread flat to the road instead of leaning through turns, so I will be using the car type Ride-On in the rear. Differing opinions welcome, I'm a couple weeks from installing the tire, so any good info would be appreciated.
That's about what I got from the article too. I think I'll go with the auto type when I change mine
