Al - there have been tank slappers reported with motorcycle tires. So I should not run them either?Someone on this site< a while back, had a bad tank slapper weave at about 105 mph with a car tire on the rear. He stated that he never had the weave before the car tire. If your dragging a knee at 80 mph stick with a motorcycle tire IMO. As far as snow and ice are concerned I'm sure any tire won't work.
yes kevin don't put tires on your bike there is less rolling resistance ............. someone asked the question , the answer is an opinion (ref IMO) based on a older post , his described riding style and information. Yes I failed to reference the " Pan Weave" So next time someone asks a question the universal answer should be "You won't know till you try it"Al - there have been tank slappers reported with motorcycle tires.

If the OP understands there are risks involved with any tire you put on your bike, the only way to find out if it is for you, try it.
The OP asked for those riding dark side, what are your experiences (not you personally). but you have none, I do. I had no problem carving corners, no problem with grip while leaned over, no problem going straight, no problem in rain. Over all a good warm fuzzy. I was also running a rear tire on the front. Yes it took more pressure on the bars to initiate a turn, but unless you switched bikes with one on motorcycle tires, you really did not notice that extra initial input. Bottom line IMO is to really know, you have to do it yourself.yes kevin don't put tires on your bike there is less rolling resistance ............. someone asked the question , the answer is an opinion (ref IMO) based on a older post , his described riding style and information.

Felt a lot like that, running a tyre 40 wider than spec. Rode like it was on rails though, and would happily stand itself up just by getting hard on the gas.1st: More push to initiate a turn.
2nd: Have to hold to keep it in a turn.
In another group I belong to there are a number of folks in the UK running C/T. Not sure how/what are the legalities and what the solutions, but it is being done.I've not ridden darkside/CT (the legalities here wouldn't be worth it), but I have run a 200 on a 160 rim...
I read the post the same way Kevin, just momentarily held off on saying something.someone asked the question , the answer is an opinion (ref IMO) based on a older post

Lots of things are being done, here in the UK. For example, I used to run a sportsbike with an illegally loud exhaust (loud pipes save... etc), and an equally illegally loud horn setup (and it was also two-tone, which is also illegal in itself).In another group I belong to there are a number of folks in the UK running C/T.

yes , I agree and if I had a 1300 I would probably put a CT on it. It was also stated he is a knee dragger. When he said that I thought, again IMO, he would feel more comfortable pushing the limits as it sounds like he does, with a MC tire. But you can't make a major change with out at least thinking about unintended consequences.I read the post the same way Kevin, just momentarily held off on saying something.
If 1 person tries something and it presents a problem, but they can't/don't prove the problem is existing beause of one modification and without baselines then it is a an anomly not a statement of fact.
Facts:
Plenty of folks go north of 100 on car tire without a wobble.
Wobble can occur for a multitiude of reasons, regardless or because of tire.
Did the same thing 2 years ago with Dan and Guy who is also running dark. It was a quick tour of the Black Hills.I rode with The Dan at Spearfish. He's a Double Darkside rider. He didn't have any issues riding twisty roads at very fast speeds.
