Folk are well aware of that.it gets pointed out as a
proof of why car tires can't work by may Sayers. None the less, empirical evidence shows they do work.

What nobody points out is that a car's suspension is designed to keep the tire flat to the road in turns. Car tires are NOT designed to run on the edge of the tread. This can cause spot overheating of the tire in the case of lengthy twisties. To each their own, but tires are purpose-built. There is science behind that.

But for those that believe its dangerousjust because "DON'T DO IT!" Me, I'm liking it so far and will continue to push the edges in the corners as far as I can.

Agreed, it's obvious many here never sat on the corners when they were kids and watched cars come flying around them. It is amazing how far to the "outside" that front tires often lean.
