Yea, it makes perfect sense to me to think that a rounded motorcycle tire with a ground contact area of maybe 2-3" wide would have as much traction or better traction as a flat tread car tire with a contact area of 10" wide and would obviously hold the road better in a curve since they are designed to hold the road while leaning into a curve.
Doesn't a Slingshot lean into curves?
And lastly the motorcycle tire would have as much traction in a emergency stop situation or hold the road as good in a emergency acceleration situation as a car tire.
And that rounded motorcycle tire would be fantastic in an emergency lane change maneuver. I'm sure that 2-3" contact area will stick to the road like glue.
Hence my comment, emergency lane change, back end loses traction, comes around to say "HI" and see what all the excitement is, and the oncoming car with children in the back gets to check out that fantastic looking rounded rear tire since it will be in their lane.
But i'm not an engineer or anything, so i am most likely wrong and definitely nothing but a dumb azz.
Let me know how it works out for you.:smuggrin:
