Yeah, I've seen a video that pretty much proves that notion false. Regardless, the tread compound of an 80,000 mile car tire leaves something to be desired for me.

This video shows what happens when a car tire corners. It ain't pretty. The commentary mentions that the center of the tread is wearing first. Duh. He's got it overinflated for the weight of the bike to give it some shape. Also, he never leans more than about 15 degrees. Riding like that, you could make your own tires out of wood.

Same thing here. He maybe gets to 20 degrees of lean.
