I know this is about to cause an explosion of comments. I just received this from a friend who sells new bikes. Let the fun begin.

Pirelli Run Flat.

See the difference in steel in the beads And the thickness in the sidewalls>>LOL

 

[CruiseControl]

Side walls or Contact patch

Ok. You look at the thickness of the sidewalls.

I'll look at the width of the contact patch.

I'm not a Darksider - yet.

What type of car tire is that? The sidewall of my car tires are thicker than the one in the photos. Besides most of the guys use ROF tires that have much thicker sidewalls. Your friend should have provided a better side by side comparision.

use the maypop/willpop if YOU want to; I will use my far superior CT any time!

You guys that ride on car tires are daredevils pure and simple. I have a nice set but they ain't quite that big.

:wrong:

I believe you got that backwards. Been using a C/T going on 5 years and have never felt safer on a bike in the 44 years that I have been riding.

WoW!
I'm sure glad that I didn't install a photo on my back rim!

Can I take that photo for a ride and arrive at an informed opinion based upon experience? Or should I just parrot what I read?

1000+ Darksiders, ten million+ miles of experience? Naw, denial is more fun.

Oh you want to see the difference in contact patches huh.:shrug:

Well wait no longer.

Dunlop E3 contact patch.

Here is a BMT's contact patch.

Pirelli Run Flat Contact patch.

I wonder why Honda engineers and other motorcycle manufacturer engineers are not as smart as you CT enthusiasts?

Why couldn't they identify all the wondrous advantages of using car tires designed for cars on motorcycles?

When Goldwings come with OEM car tires or car tires are offered as an option on Goldwings I'll be among the first to order and install one.

Yep, hard to believe isn't it? And yet not one sidewall issue, de-lamination or manufacturers defect one. Only problem I've heard about is not recognizing when the car tire has actually gone FLAT!!! I'll take that risk.

Thanks for the info but I'll stick to my Run-Flat. Nothing like the proof being in the puddin rather than a nice display.

What does racism have to do with this topic?

What does racism have to do with this topic?

Try reading it again with some comprehension this time...

Where did I say anything about "Race"!!!

Look up the word segregation and see if it only pertains to "race"???
