Went to Canada (600 miles) this weekend to a Rally it was small but was having a good time. I have a yellow 2009 wing that I have been doing some powder coating on, in but what else but lime green. I look over and had about ten guys looking at my wheels, luggage rack and all the lights I have installed so of course I walked over to my bike. Then the largest (by far) guy said to me this yours I said yep and then he starts telling me how stupid it was to run a car tire. I listened to the whole insurance won’t pay, no contact with the road , going to kill my wife , be ready for a tire coming off the wheel and then the ” I WENT TO WING DING AND A GUY SHOWED WITH CUT OUTS HOW DANGERUS CAR TIRES ARE” So I smiled and said WOW thanks as I walked away. This guy would save the world if given enough bad information. I wanted to ask him what was going to happen when he went over the 410lb load limit (that was a for sure) or the Honda dealer seen his trailer hitch. But I told my wife I will learn to let this type of thing go unlike in the past when I would have went off. But later I got enjoyment out of letting him show his *&& so smiling and walking away was fun.
So my question is what do others do if spotted with a square tire?
Should I have told him I have a rear tire on the front? He would of fainted for sure!!!!
I have better than 100,000 miles on car tires with Zero problems I enjoy the higher load capability and the cooler temps I have measured and most of all no word of delamination. I run heavy, fast, Scrape pegs in turns and pull my wife’s heavy shopping cart all with a CAR TIRE????????
