Dark side (rear car tire on a motorcycle)

[paolo]

Hi all
I am intrigued about going dark side on the r18...may be 195 65-16 ....if space permits otherwise a 195 60-16 that should fit hopefully
And go to a 130 80-19 front.....which I acquired a shinko flat track tire that looks huge compared to the battlecruiser
Has anybody done anything similar on the r18?

The issue with car tyres is that they are flat surfaced and when cornering/leaning at an angle, you are only touching a very small area and thus opening yourself to all sorts. I know there are folks out there that do this but I would strongly recommend you stick to motorcycle’s tyres. Surely you can find a motorcycle wider tyre if that is your goal.

If your attaching a sidecar , makes sense.
