Watch some Youtube Videos SCUD. The Sidewall in never used when a CT is on an MC, It's always on the tread, After almost 7K miles, the 'Tits" are still on the sides of my Car tire. Even on a curve where the floorboard drag, I'm on the tread.

Now mind you, in that same sharp curve most of the weight is on one sidewall, But my theroy here is that my tire is rated at like 6K lbs, So that's 3K each sidewall, bike weighs 1240 fully loaded, I'll never overload that tire. Even if you calculate in G forces.

Type in You Tube search on Darksdie tires, Lots come up that show how it runs on the tread, and check out the Supercharges Triumph Rocket running the darksdie Video I posted above, At the speeds he's going, if he would get on the side he would slide out for sure. It runs only on the tread.

I have found that all reason and logic is out the window concerning Car tires on Bikes, I studied it for a year before I jumped ship and that's my take on it. And still my take on it after running the Darkside so long.
