PS...Goodfellow . No Kind of tire on a R3 will enable it toast a sport bike in the twisty s with the riders havening the same ability. Staying with a R3 on my D12 would be a walk in the park, and it cant come close to competing with the new sport bikes. If they are good riders you are performing some kind of magic....Do you have carbon fiber rims and finders, an maybe a set of rear sets with the forewords eliminated like Gragor's Platatina RS....If so you might have a fighting chance to keep a sport bike in your sites but I still doubt it.

Those kind of like curb feelers . . .??

Thanks all for your posts...Damaged has all the info he needs .

Goodfelow was a trooper, but he thinks he can smoke a sport bike in the twisty s . In reality he cant smoke one in a striate line for more than an 1/8 of a mile unless he has a super charger.

I admire you darksiders for your spirit but my question from the beginning ,was a car tire cant out perform a MC tire in the twisty s

I understand why you run a car tire and that is ok with me... The benefits are obvious More millage and the handling is tall arable.. and with adaption it can be good.

This is the problem I have......Millions read these post...Darksiders are good people, but the car tire has went to there heads and swelled them up.....You think I am stupid for not agreeing with you that your car tire will out perform a MC tire in the twistys ......TWISTYS.....TWISTYS....That would be roads with turns in them.....Thats all I was after.....You are thrifty people , and probably smarter than Damaged ...Until someone excepts my my challenge, I will stick with a MC tire...Or do a track day with the two .

This has nothing to do with Darsiders that love there tire for what it is....A money saving tire that handles good enough for there needs and then some.

Prove to me that your car tire will out perform the Metz in the twistys and I will shut up....I have not seen any thing in this vast internet that has put the two, one on one...That would be a car tire and a MC tire to the test ......That shouldn't be so hard to do.....Damaged is willing .

Damaged cant spell.....And that limits the ability of spell check . Carbon fiber findr's is as close as I can get and spell check still don't like it....But if you cant figer it out , that is ok with me...I am Damaged.

"Goodfelow was a trooper, but he thinks he can smoke a sport bike in the twisty s . In reality he cant smoke one in a striate line for more than an 1/8 of a mile unless he has a super charger."
I would prefer a turbo, like C.C. or Brembo.......

"This has nothing to do with Darsiders that love there tire for what it is....A money saving tire that handles good enough for there needs and then some."

That's a pretty good way to put it, but you might think a little bit more so when you try for your self.

"Prove to me that your car tire will out perform the Metz in the twistys and I will shut up....I have not seen any thing in this vast internet that has put the two, one on one...That would be a car tire and a MC tire to the test ......That shouldn't be so hard to do.....Damaged is willing .

"

not just me, but a few others also." we are many, and so will you when you cross over."
and yes, the last was intended as a pun ,'star wars' of course.... just a feeble attempt at humor I guess.

fenders. Thanks Goodfellow.You are better then spell check .

Ya , there are a lot of you darksiders out there. The Rune riders are putting them on there bikes and they can get an easy 12000 miles on the stock rear.
Maybe the bike tire manufacturers will perk up when they notice a drop in sales ,if there is enough of you to make a dent in there pockets.

right on the money.

Dark Side get use too??

slopping roads are very interesting to negotiate.

How much a concern are these car tires when negociating leaning turns with two riding...or picking up uneven road surface at slow speeds..I want my guts on the bike and not off of it??

Freightbusting no more...
