Anyone Darksided their cruiser?

[Crasherfromwayback]

Pete you have to remember that he has the inside knowledge having read about it on the internets....., those bike tyre designers have no idea, they should search "dark side"

Think post #114 sums things up nicely. He's talking to himself. And funny how when someone calls you out and you answer regarding what you know...then go quiet as fuck you ask them to tell us their quals. Car tyres be fucked.

...your right, thats the rating per tyre.

But each tyre must be capable of handling the bikes entire weight due to weight transference under certain conditions...such as braking or accelerating to name but two. (and due to speed + mass and all the physic's stuff happening...the actual transferred weight-or "pressure" on the individual tyres, can be higher than the bikes free standing weight)

so no...two tyres with 910 pound max load weight does not mean they are good to go on a 1820 pound bike.

I think it does - well Honda/Harley and the big tyre manufacturers seem to think so- you know the physics stuff better than they do? Exactly how much time are you spending on the front and back wheels? I'm sure when they give a load rating for a tyre they allow for that with a safety margin. Are the big cruiser forums full of posts about those particular tyres bursting?

Yes I saw that, wtf???? I couldn't really care less if he wants a car tyre on his bike, it's others on the road that might become victim to the out of control bike that worries me

The contact patch is quite big.

Yeh, but tilt you head (or screen) sideways about 15 degrees, then tell us how big the contact patch is.

You know, I don't think any of you posters actually ride a big cruiser.?????

You have plenty to say about it????

get out there and do it with a big cruiser

Then report back

People have a lot to say about it because it was only a matter of time before someone did this....

What if I tilt a bit more and stand on my head? will that help it make any sense?

Only if you pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time

Well, I ended up lying on the ground with sore body parts. Is that the take home message about running car tyres on a bike? It sounds pretty much bang on anyway.

Yep, spot on. Run a car tyre on your bike and you will end up on the ground.....hurtin
