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

Well if your pipes weren't so loud you might hear that nail sneaking up on you.

Also not true. Most of you folks that only have opinions, but No CT EXPERIENCE, believe all kinds of weird stuff. I have been riding a CT on my last 3 bikes,and my current Nomad (see avator) and have logged well over 200K miles with out dying, crashing, or fallen for all the hype from nay- Sayers. If you like it, do it, but at least know first hand what you are talking about. It is not for all, but some of us would not have it any other way.

Don't kid yourself. It will not wear your clutch out any faster than a MC tire. 75K miles on my old V2K with a CT and no clutch problems. New owner has the bike and over 100K on it and still no problems at all. I know because he is my neighbor .

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