has anyone ever tried or heard of someone trying to put those huge motorcycle tires on car wheels? Or could it even be done?

yea, I've seen those. I was just thinking that if you had lots of camber you would get more grip with a motorcycle tire plus they are already pretty round so it might help with rubbing. I just thought that a really stretched tire looked a lot like a motorcycle tire. but a car is probably too heavy?

not gonna lie, that would be crazy if someone designed special tires along the lines of motorcycle tires to put on stanced cars.Originally posted by mrfobbyaccenti'm sorreh AWWPEHH| 95 e36 M3-sold POS | 98 e36 M3-track rat RIP ;( | 90 NA Eunos-lookatme car |

I believe it was a popular thing the Hot Rod guys used to do. Put them on the front because of the look it gave them.
Edit: Benz, just got in in-front of me haha

There is a car built in California (I use the term car loosely, as it is a motorcylce based car. three wheeler) that uses motorcycle tires. It uses touring type tires that have a high mileage arting and a fairly high load rating. remember Fat ass Harleys weigh a good 700lbs plus the two people on it (the average Harley couple I think would tip the scales at an estimated 500lbs. So that's 1200lbs on two tires. A mark1 vw weighs about 2200lbs on four tires...that's do-able.Attached Files
