[QUOTE="Twigg, post: 1246485, member: 27619"] The Forum seems to split a little dependent on use. Some will never use a car tire, others recognize the benefits but prefer a MC tire, and some now use a CT exclusively. In the parking lot of the IBR hotel, most of the FJRs seemed to be wearing Car Tires, and for that kind of event it is easy to understand why. There is very little in the way of canyon carving, or miles of twisties ridden just for fun. What there is are a vast variety of roads needed to get to specific destinations, in all weathers and any part of the country. With those requirements, the longevity and the extra traction in the wet is welcome, as is the better manners on unmade roads. If I were spending a lot of time doing both kinds of riding, I'd probably get a second rear wheel and keep both tires either mounted, or ready to mount on the bike. [/QUOTE]
