The darkside is not good.....
I am convinced that the car tire on the back is a BADDDDDDD idea. The bike i bought had one on it.......no good brothers ..went to the bike shop to change the front tire and they said it wears the front tire quicker when you run a back car tire and also wears groves that make handling on the front end shakey (which it was getting bad misbalanced on the front tire). No car tires for me NOOOOO MORE !!!!!!

Not only will it wear out your front tire quicker, it will also wear out your clutch faster because of the increase mass of the tire.

Your also more apt to get a flat on the back because the wider car tire will pick up a nail that a narrower motorcycle tire would have just barley missed
Hey, it is just common sense

Your also more likely to get hemmoriods because of the wider tire.

If motorcycles were meant to have car tires, Kawasaki would have put them on at the factory!

I hear if you get a tire wide enough, it will eliminate the need for a kickstand or a center stand. Also makes checking oil much easier :)
