i love car tires i have 4 on the durango and 4 on the el camino they work great and i would highly recommend them.
i personally don't hate darksliders i would buy them a drink, slap them on the back and tell them they had bigger balls than me!
 
To Hell with these Darkside "conversations"!!!

I'll have some of whatever the OP is smokin' (exceptin' those square tires), thank you.

I thought this was a pro Dark Side Thread, but there are too many haters that want to impose their fears of reality on the rest of us. For speed, yes the motorcycle tire is best, but for longevity, the car tire is best. My last rear motorcycle tire lasted 6k miles. My wife and I combine to have 470lbs on the beast. With the torque of the beast, a car tire suits us. We tour, not race in the twisties. For that, they make sport bikes. For me and my ride, 17k on a rear All Season Performance car tire is good enough for me. I use to build tires. The technology is not what it was 20 years ago. Cars are drifting now. Heck, you can buy tires that smoke in your favorite color when you are doing burnouts.
Just my 2cents.

Oh, without ABS, in a straight line, Car tires don't lock up as quickly.

Could not have said it better myself.
 
The hate should go to those stealers that charge $800-$900 to change and put on new tires on the Rocket, and another $50 to clean and grease the splines. If my buddy's Triumph dealsership hadn't gone out of business i'd be on the darkside again today. Back when the DS was an option the haters were 9.9 out of 10. I investigated it and couldn't find anyone that thought it was the right thing to do. Some of you may know Ty Alexander Huynh(picture below) he was the only person back in the day that i knew who was going Darkside on the Rocket. Thanks to YT i was able to get his info and went for it. I remember my buddy saying bring it in when the boss goes home and as i left him saying you didn't get it changed here. ;) Don't fear the reaper...!! Ask grand dad what his tires were like.

I gave up saying never, that is a statement made by young people that have not been around long enough to know that never is a long time I will say that I do not plan To use a car tire in the near future. I can say that I don't know enough to rule it out, and some day I may try it to see if I like it or not. I know that money would not be a factor in the use of a certain type of tire. I tend to err on the side of the best not the cheapest. The jury is still out for me! Just my two cents
