Yeah, I'm with Bob. I don't get why you would want to put a car tire on a motorcycle. I take corners pretty hard, and I don't know if I would trust the car tire from not coming out on me.

I run a car tire and the traction is there for days IMHO compared to the metzlers. Not picking on metzlers they were good tires I'm just more pleased with my current set up. I do have two sets one mc and one ct. It is something you would have to feel first hand to understand. Many surfaces that a motorcycle tire can get iffy on car tire is sure footed. This is by far nothing new to motorcycles the MC tires of today came largely from road racing scene even though they are day and night to race tires pros run. So I am told by a friend who built raced and sponsored bikes for many years.
I respect your opinion and as always people choose many ways to go that is how you make it your own.
Just a few other pluses I would like to share. Better rear brake response and in lock down you go straight not skid side to side. The ride is much smoother and this is just a guess but would attribute it to the thicker side walls. I the rain it is great traction. Now some people don't care for it most I have heard use a taller tire than I have on their bike. There is a learning curve to the difference in handling but not anything earth shacking. By saying handling I'm referring how it feels in a curve not a lack of handling it just is a different transition that is all.

Just wanted to share my opinion if you read it thank you and if not I wasted these words at the end!
