Do you really believe that the rubber on your motorcycle tire is that different from the rubber of a car tire?
Some are softer than others and thus wear faster, but rubber is rubber. Sure,on a molecular level the compounds may be slightly different, but it's all pretty much the same carbon based compound.
As far as the amount of lean a car tire is designed to handle; what do you think puts more strain on the sidewall of a tire, 1,000 pounds of bike & rider leaning 30 degrees, or, 4,000 pounds of mini van + passengers cornering at 75 m.p.h.???
I'm not trying to convince anyone to put a car tire on thier bike, I just wanted to let people know that this tire fits and it works. If you wish to pay $300 for a tire that'll only last 7500 miles, you're free to do that.
Just as I'm free to put a $138 80,000 mile tread car tire on my bike.
I appreciate your concern and I'll keep everyone updated.
So far I've put over 500 miles on the tire and, (did you guess) not one problem.
