I can stop faster than any stock tired cruiser bike.
The rain does not slow me down.
There is a larger contact patch while leaning.
You guys don't believe it 'cause you keep watchin' that video that rowdy red keeps posting because he is very opposed to the car tire.
If you looked at the tire from the SIDE you would see the HUGE contact patch.
I don't join these discussions because certain "know it alls" always chime in and say it's stupid.
I think it's stupid to have to buy 5 rear tires every year.
It's hard enough trying to keep gas in this scooter.
I don't care what any of you do in your riding lifes.
I just think that you do not allow free discussion if you don't agree with the person posting.
You have very closed minds and you become mean and intollerant of anyone that doesn't agree.
Ride safe and often !

I think the same as most people. I can also comment and state my opinion. When it comes to putting car tires on a bike and your comments of superior performance. I would think you don't have the faintest idea about any of the engineering that went into producing the SPECIAL bike tires that go on our bikes. I suppose you don't believe in wearing a helmet either. Thats another topic. There is no comparison between the two tires. All your talk is cheap hype trying to convince yourself you did right. Maybe you chose the car tire because its cheaper. Since you also stated you can't afford gas either. There is always a whizzer motor bike, Hell, then you could use BMX tires. LOL. There is no way in hell that you could ever talk me into putting car tires on my bike. Your just looking for an wreck. The flexing of the side wall is totally different between a car and a bike and so is the contact area. Gee, I wonder why they call them CAR tires and bike tires. My bike weight is 700LBS. My car weight is what? Aw there close. LOL. It's your bike do as you like. But don't give us any BS on how great they are. I've owned more bikes then you are old. If they were any good Yamaha would have used them in the first place. Yamaha is not in the tire business. If you can't afford to buy the correct parts or equipment for your bike, maybe you should consider riding the buss. LOL. Don't you just love my opinion!LOL.
