What are the safety issues?

I hesitate to ask, looking at the dust cloud caused by Dans "impressions" post. But it has been interesting reading. What are the safety, aside from handling changes, problems (experienced or reported) of running a CT on a bike? I've seen the post and been told it is the side wall, but is there any other? I am no engineer or skid or friction expert. But my Nomad is less than 800lbs witch splits out about 400lbs a tire, give or take with contributing factors, and that is less than the weight per wheel of most of the 4 wheel vehicles I have skid around curves and into ditches in my time. The only time I broke a bead was when the rear tire met a culvert. Is the sliding force on the side wall of a car, on dry road, at least equal to the force put on the side wall when leaning in a curve? Has any one ever reported a CT coming off of the bike rim under any normal or even pushing it some conditions? I guess what I should be asking is Why Not a CT?
Thanks for your time
