[ This is utter nonsense. Dangerous nonsense, at that. ....
Absolutely! Cars are steered by pointing the tires in a direction.
Motorcycles are "steered" by leaning them over onto the conic sections of
the tires' contact patches. Car tires have/need no conic sections.

Plus there's the fact that car sidewalls are *designed* to flex and
deform over bumps, and the one thing you don't want on a motorcycle
tyre, when banked over, is a wobbly sidewall. KrustyUS seems to think
differently, though.

I really must apologize to everyone for trying to present myself as
somebody that
knows anything about any subject, and I'm so very, very sorry that I
can't help here.
I surely wish I could, but I don't know anything about any subject.
I wouldn't know a motorcycle tire or a car tire from a chocolate
covered donut.
I've never been anywhere or done anything in my whole life.
But TOG knows what the answer is. TOG knows everything. If he doesn't
know the answer, it's not worth knowing.
Once again, I want to thank TOG for his effulgent wisdom, on behalf
of
all sentient beings who ride motorcycles and need his special kind of
help.

You know, you're *already* about the most ridiculed poster on reeky.
Are you trying to make your position unassailable?

Regard him as one who points out treasure, the wise one who seeing
your faults rebukes you. Stay with this sort of sage. For the one who
stays with a sage of this sort, things get better, not worse. Let him
admonish, instruct, deflect you away from poor manners. To the good,
he's endearing; to the bad, he's not.
