I realize the other reasons for having a car tire, but having a the Run Flat capability, for me, is the main attraction.

No cell signal out on some gorgeous mountain backroad in the Rocky Mountains, the fun would certainly be gone with a flat in the middle of nowhere. With the run flat l can keep going until l reach the next town where l can at least call for a tow.

Run Flat, for me, is the most important reason to go to a car tire.

The 22 lb Pirelli P7 run flat is readily available.

That tire is going to be pretty short. You’ll want to go with a 195/60, or 205/55. Having run flat capability is a definite advantage. Don’t know why it’s not offered for motorcycle specific tires. I run a car tire for the capability in all types of weather, and load capacity. Lots of reasons to go this route.
