Appearance is not the goal, frugal use my money is. A $140 tire that only lasts 15k miles or less eats up the savings I am getting by riding the bike as compared to drive a cage. The cost of fuel per gallon is the same for diesel and mid grade. The bike gets twice the mileage. The tires for the bike are only a little cheaper. but 4 on the truck get almost 60k, It takes 8 tires on the bike to travel that distance. Making my savings almost nil. Other than the enjoyment of the ride and less pollution, it doesn't make sense. Especially if you have to put up with the lunatics I have to on the 108 mile round trip. Add to that how much rubber is being wasted on the mc tires, the environmental footprint is no better either.
Like I said, I do think things through for awhile before I do them. Now is the time for gathering info on whether or not the America could use a car tire without adverse affects. So if you have some info I it I would like to hear it.
I am still on vacation.
