My year on the darkside

I did with my R3T and I love it, would never go back to a rear motorcycle tire. I have given up on trying to argue with guys who say D.S. tires are dangerous and not engineered for motorcycles, most of them are talking out of their asses as the have never done it.
That's fine with me ,they can stay with their motorcycle tires.

Well now, Macrider,
For my part, I NEVER used the word "dangerous", in fact I poked fun at those who say it'll kill ya.
FACT! Car tires are NOT engineered for motors! There is NO getting around that.
Me thinks someone who states all car and tire engineers "are talking out of their asses" is in fact doing so himself.

You are correct, but not engineered for and will not work with aren't the same. I think that's where the line gets muddy because its not entirely black and white.

I was not refering to any comments that you made 1olbull, only those that have said "dangerous" on other threads from the past few years, nothing that you said.
I did not mean the engineers and tire designers are talking "out of their asses" I meant those bikers that have never tried a darkside tire but are commenting on them without ever having any experience using them,, they are "talking out of their asses"
Sorry, if I did not clearly say that in my first post. And sorry it was not implying to any comments by you..... friends?
