By the way, at 23.08 MPG, you really don't have much room to discuss eco-anything.  |
its an infinity kinda like a viper you dont ask the FE cuz you can afford it.
my thought on motorcycle tires. would I put them on my 4500lb element
NO
would I try them on my 2000lb or under eco car? if I had the funds to test em
YES
from a safety standpoint. ide say motorcycle tires are safer then donut spare tires. and safer then stretched tires. and people drive on them :/ ie:
ive seen these types of tires used in super low RR down hill racers (soapbox + technology)
that should be a start in the right direction. a custom alignment to maximize the new tire shape and who knows the gains you can see.
but it is far from simple. and hard to reverse quickly to compare results unless you have a pair of cars being modded together.
