I've been reading a darkside forum. According to the posts I've read there has never been an accident due to the use of a car tire, ever. Also millions of cars use them so they must be safe. Also a car tire will provide better handling, longer tire wear and make you more attractive to women. Is there any truth in this? As anyone tried one on their Strom?

Search around. Lots and lots of discussion about this.

imho

If your life is sane and on expressways and or long trips at reasonable speeds I think the Car tire is a fine choice.

If/when I could swing a trip to Alaska I would be a buyer

If you scrape things in the twisties riding with sport bike freinds then maybe stick with good MC tire

For Information I am going to put on Bridgestone bt 023 sport touring tires as I am 90 percent small street roads and 10% dirt

So

Who are you?

I wish it made me more attractive to women
I like mine since I primarily ride long highway miles on it.
Keeping my 650 to M/C tire since I like it for twisties.

I agree 100%. That's what I was trying to get at with my post here. We don't need another one.
