Why?

I don't care if you can...I would never put a car tire on a motorcycle.

IMHO....if you are putting on a car tire to save money or to get more mileage then to me you are a cheap ass. If you can afford the bike then you should be able to afford the correct parts and gear.

Its their bike . . . people do things to their bike that I wouldn't do to mine . . . This is one of them . . .especially with Michelin and Dunlop offering tires that get some folks more than 20K . . . But then, that's my bike, and I'll do what I want with it . . .
