[Jimv]

a friend has 4.60x 16 Kenya tires on the front of his T bucket & was wondering if any motorcycle tires can be used instead.?they are something like motorcycle so it would be alot easier to get biketires then to pay Total performance prices!!lol

Motorcycle tires will wear out real quick on a car, but ya can use them.
How about a set of Volkswagon tires? they are 16 inch rite?

If you really have your heart set on tiny motorcycle tires, take a look at sidecar tires. They have a more square section than regular cycle tires.

Jim.........I can get you ANY M/C tire you want and a good deal....I wouldn't worry about using a bike tire, I have done it before....remenber some of these tanks(bikes)are almost half the weight of your 'Bucket

I have no direct experience, but in AV8's book Mike wrote that he initially had motorcycle tyres on the front of his roadster and took them off quite quickly because of problems.

CT fuzz, there not for mine there for Keiths T, looks like mine but big buck.
He doesn't have the skinny little tires there a pretty good size, 16" i think.

Mike mentioned tread separation. I think part of the problem was Taiwanese Tires and not totally the fact that they were cycle tires. Just my theory. Chen Shins will start to crack before they are even mounted! I will tell you in a couple months how my cycle tires are working.
