I don't think the smaller tires scoot tires of 11" and less have
real m/cycle sidewalls, since the tires are about the same as Cessna and
Piper/Cub light aircraft landing tyres.....
It doesn't really matter in that tyre size, since some ppl use car
tyres on m/cycles and it all works just almost as good and cost much less,
as a lot of youtube m/cycle tyre performance videos have shown.
Car tyres slip more rather than the thick soft rubber of harder
sidewalled m/cycle tyres.

Cracked side wall? Replace the tire [1]. Sheesh.
[1] No, I haven't followed my own advice.

YES if you want to pass a safety inspection where I live.

This is utter nonsense. Dangerous nonsense, at that. About the only
things car tyres are good for on motorcycles is sidecar outfits and
very, very few cruisers which will never lean more than five dgerees
from the vertical.

And so is this. Maybe not dangerous nonsense, but nonsense all the
same.

I remember the time I was riding along down a hill near my house and got
behind a couple of cruisers. They were having tremendous difficulty staying
in lane at 20 miles an hour. This is a hill that I routinely take at 35 in
a Jeep and ride easily at 50+ on the bike--when I'm in the mood 70 is within
my admittedly meager capabilities. But they were struggling at a very low
speed.
I suspect that for those particular riders car tires would have worked fine.
