Just a bit more silliness.
What flavor blinker fluid is best for high speed parking?
If the male wheel splines mate up with the female drive splines, would they wear each other out and what becomes of poor Moly? Find out in the next episode of: "As the Wheel Turns"

Good question (and tv reference, a little scary that).

But more importantly: if the male wheel splines are constantly mating with the female wheel splines why are replacement splines so expensive: sounds like they should have a bunch of offspring splines everywhere.

No, could you fill us in on what that is all about?

 ???Aren't M/C tires designed for cycles?
Aren't car tires designed for cars?

How about trying to put cycle tires on cars?
What a novel concept!

[SlowRoad]

I have actually seen m/c tires on a car/truck. It was a C cab panel truck street rod and he had bike tires on the front.  So it can be done and he didn't seem to be skeered of a flaming death.

Motorcycle tires do not have the load rating that car tires carry.  Car tires have more engineering development behind them compared to motorcycle tires. (it's sales versus costs). Sidewalls in the two different are something I've never gotten a grasp of. Tread design is the most subjective part of the whole tire. There is no difference in the mounting and rim retaining regime between the two.

Your're kidding !   A CAR TIRE ON A VALK !!      Probably 10--15% of this group go that route for one reason or 'tother. In 54 yrs of riding, I find after market things are eventually a problem for me  IE  electrical, pnematics (horns     chrome pealing. However, I do not have a voice on car tires.I get 23K rear...17K front with Avon..99% hiway...good 'nuff..Skeeter (VA)
