DARK SIDE WANA BE

TriumPhill, thank you for your civil and clear comment. Could you please point me in the direction of the "fact that there have been plenty of catastrophic tire separation issues" Do the separations occur when the tire deflate or spontaneously? Can you be more specific about what this separation is? Does the tire just jump the edge of the rim? I'm not trying to argue with you, just trying to become informed and learn from your experience and expertise. If this is in fact true I might reconsider. To me, the cost or inconvenience of the installation is not an issue. It's about a 100$ difference and 5000 miles of service between tires types. I don't ride that much any way or do so exceeding anything but the speed limit by not much.
MOTORCYCLE tires and rims are designed to lock together so that in case of a quick loss of air the tire will remain locked on the rim to prevent loss of control so you can come to a safe stop CAR tires do not fit on motorcycle wheels correctly and will not lock on as they are a different configuration and are designed to lock on CAR rims . The fact that you dont ride much is not going to change anything or make it any safer even though you exceed the speed limits by not much . so it comes down to saving money and not being as safe on the bargain basement tires . AND your doing this on the Almighty Rocket the largest displacement production motorcycle .
