To each his own on the tire issue, but to suggest that car tires experience, or are designed to run angles of 30-45 degrees regularly is a stretch for sure.

It's Bush's fault....his administration kept the advantages of car tires on motorcycles a secret to keep us under the thumb of the motorcycle tire manufacturers......it's a conspiracy I tell ya!

If your MGB rear wheels have so much camber that the outer edges of the tires... er... tyres do not actually touch the ground then your rear wheels ARE about to fall off. The MGB had a solid rear axle. Think you are thinking Triumph Spitfire or GT6...

Spitfire!! Yes, thank you for correcting.

Point is that car tyres can handle far more camber than most people want to admit. And if I look at most of the bikes running them, they are not being leaned over by Dave Rainey. They are chilling at about as much lean as the front end of a Chrysler 300 hits when you parallel park it. It's not nearly the compromise everyone makes it out to be.

I also wonder about stones and glass houses on this topic - which of the loudest even bother with real snows or proper summers?
