I know this is somewhat unrelated. But as a biker/ motorcyclist I ride a Honda Goldwing. Many myself included have switched to a car tire for our rear tire. I know it sounds dangerous to many but our preferred tire is a Run Flat Snow tire.   This is most popular on large heavy bikes such as Goldwings and the larger HD.s

Traction is second to none in both wet and dry conditions.

You never have to worry about a blow out.   

The ride is far superior to a regular motorcycle tire.

And believe it or not the handling is almost unperceivably different from that of a dedicated motorcycle tire.

Tread life is usually triple and cost is about 1/2 to 1/3 of a dedicated motorcycle tire.

Those of us who use this option are called DarkSiders.
