^ I dunno - I would need to see more info than that video to convince me.
If the contact patch and traction is so good, better than a cycle tire, should we expect to see car tires on MotoGP bikes next year?
It may have a decent contact patch, but I don't think it's the exact shape of contact patch you want for any type of cornering. During cornering it's flexing the sidewall of a car tire in a manner that it's not designed to do.
If you are going in a straight line all day I'm sure it's fine, but if you like to crank it in a corner now and then, maybe not so much.
I know of a guy that rides a V-Strom year-round in all types of weather (heavy snow and ice) that loves his car tires.
I won't be trying one any time soon.
