I got the car tire on my stryker. A 225/45-18 works well. Here is the post I did on Dark side web site, with pics.

I'm sure the additional mileage gained by going to the car tire would be great but i don't trust a car tire on a motorcycle. To me its "the wrong tool for the job". I would not have the confidence in my bikes handling necessary for the type of riding that I enjoy.
I live in western, co. I ride the Colorado twisties including 550, but the way I ride is though Gateway to Ridgeway and then to Durango. I ride the river road to Moab when it gets cold. I run solo, and I keep up with my wife riding her Miata. The bike has stock shocks and I have no problem doing 1000+ mile days. I have run the Alcan to Alaska and back, this on a car tire on my beemer.
This bike feels even better that the Beemer. Yes, I ride highways and back roads. If it is in front of me, I have no problem riding it.

That's right I looked it up once already. I think they are about $150.00. That's not a lot of savings over the Avon 240. I wonder if it wold be the right tire for me on these tire shredding roads up here. I guess I wont know until I try it.Alaskanmonte said:

Hey, I don't think anybody over hear is hating on the idea....just not sure. I personally don't know jack **** about all this motorcycle stuff, so I'm not going to even give my .02.
One request is that if it handles like **** in corners or wet conditions, please let us know. Or if it handles great....either way.

The milage you'd get outta the tires where you'd pull your savings from. I personaly can't see it working as well in a corner as a tire that was desined for that purpose? But if it works good enough for your riding style have at it. You ever see a drag bike at the end of a race? I would imagine it would be like that, you know simular anyway?

btw, i know on that site you told others that on the "Strker forum" your conclusion is that you are hearing the same old "tired comments". Sczabla, as for me.. i dont share the excitement of the car tire on a motorcycle, hence that's why they are bikes. but that is only me. that's my opinion. but i completely respect the fact you thought outside of the box like so many mods in here. its different, but really i just worry as a fellow rider, that it doesnt affect handling and gets you hurt.
and in all honesty, if i saw you parked at the gas and grill, i would be like "****, i have to see this!" be safe, and let us know how it works out.
