This is my second bike with a car tire and I'll never return to the "light side". I have the Dunlop runflat and believe it’s the best "for me". I had a Cooper on my 02 VTX and it was superb. I can drag the pegs and the boards on the wing when I never could before. On grated bridge decks its great. The only caveat is the ruts in the roads approaching an intersection it will drift a tad. I really believe if I had had the car tire on the wing when we went over the side in North Carolina I could have controlled it better and it would not have gotten out of shape.

Possibly you are thinking about the Double Dark Side - front tire (Rear M/C tire)being mounted reverse to directional arrow due to the tire construction ????
I did this with my 1st front tire and now the 2nd mounted forward direction, to see if there is a difference, so far nothing noted. :waving:
I too have a rear bike tire mounted on the front in the correct direction. Have felt no bad feelings with this. I have been darkside for years on my VTX. If I still rode it it still would be. I gave it to my son and he switched it back. He's not looking at putting as many miles on it as I did and do my wing. I have the Battleaxe on the front and the Dunlop run flat on the back.
