Haven't seen the video yet but thought it might be a good thing to throw in my two cents since I was an engineer for 20 years. The next time you have a chance look closely at your MT and note how thick the side wall is and how the tread rolls up the side to almost a 45 degree angle and is a radius. Now note that a CT's tread ends almost totally at the bottom edge and square and the walls are much thinner and more flexable. The reason for this is the CT is designed to flex at the wall as the tread grips the pavment on a turn because of the "four tires gripping on the flat tread and being for all practical purposes still straight up( reason the bike stops better "straight up"with a rear CT) the MT is round to allow it to have more tread when leaning into a turn which is the only way a MC will negotiate a turn.If you are turning and leaning on a CT you are partially on the slick but relatively weak and flexable wall. Ever see what happens to a CT if it is low pressured, the wall fails. Now the side wall on your MT is as strong and unflexable as the bottom at about halfway up, reason, for turning. As for a car tire being rated higher thats bacause it never uses its side wall to ride on, if you do, then watch racing cars and see what happens. Motorcycle companies are held liable for all manner of problems that can happen on a motorcycle. Ask yourself do they recommend CT's for thier bikes. After reading all the replies on this thread I failed to see any put downs just plain common since about safety first.
