Here are links to some other threads on the advriders.com site about using a car tire on a bike:
Some of the threads are many pages long, but you'll see a lot of the arguments from both sides over various points of the Dark Side debate. It's a lot to wade through and some of the messages are tedious, ridiculous and a waste of time and space. But there are some interesting nuggets throughout. I like the bits about reduced rolling resistance and effectively raising the final drive ratio.
That is if you have any curiosity about the fuss over using car tires on a bike... otherwise never mind.
