I've been unable to get a rear tire for my race bike for about 2 months now.

Do you have a photo of your rear tire with the edges worn from the road?

No, I don't. I just put a brand new AE rear tire on as I said above. And if I couldn't find the tire I wanted I would go with another brand. I won't put a motorcycle tire on my truck either.

As long as you stay in your lane on the tight sweepers, I couldn't care less whether or not you run automobile tires on your bike. Why do you care that I won't?
