Look up the durometer (rubber hardness rating) for yourself. Street motorcycle tires generally have a durometer rating of around 65-70. Car tires are generally less (softer) than that.

...Orygunner...

I caught that, and I didn't mean harley/cruiser etc tires, I was leaning more towards sportbike tires, you know, the guys that are actually USING the whole tire. I can tell you how soft and sticky the edges of a Michelin Pilot Power 2CT are...
And the contact patch on a bike runs much hotter than most auto street tires, as the contact pressure is higher on a bike.

Sure they would. It's just paint.

Might be cheaper to order the parts from Harley though.

This puts them equal to or better than most cars. I had always read that cars with their much larger tire contact patches could pull more lateral Gs than bikes. Most cars pull between .8 and 1 G on the skidpad with a few going higher. Maybe Motorcycle tires are stickier than car tires?

Note that most cars will pull more lateral G's in dynamic driving than they ever will on a skidpad measure where they go around in a circle accelerating until they cannot maintian a fixed radius.

Oh and to keep the nerd war in with posting pictures.

THIS is trust. (not me and not the dragon but still on a BIG ass sprint)

Let us know about Oct. AllSports is Oct 28, btw. Weekends are pretty busy but we could always hook up on a weeknight! And yeah, he knows a thing or two about beer.

Those of us who have seem him ride know that he can rip on that 250 sumo though, right up until he runs out of gas :)
