What's your point here; that tires undergo testing, or CT's can carry a heckuva load, or something else?Originally Posted by bob109
We can be certain that CT's mounted on CT rims can handle higher loads but what load can a CT handle when mounted on a MT rim?
Construction, materials, and geometry. Not only is a CT shaped differently than a MT, its' construction is different using different rubber compounds than a MT.
...
If everything is equal,,, what is that CT doing to the bike that a MT doesn't that makes the difference in handling?
EXACTLY how is the CT affecting cornering,,, WHY does it require more counter-steer? Why does it create understeer?
THAT is the question so few DS'ers seem to be able to answer,,, (Those who ride MT's don't have to worry about it, so why should they bother with 'understanding' it?)
The Mic is open,,, Lets hear from the DS crowd exactly why CT's handle 'differently'? What do they do to the bike?
EDIT: The question remains, how do these differences work to produce the difference in handling.
