Mounted a car tire on the V Star this past weekend. I've been doing a bunch of research and finally pulled the trigger. Biggest reasons were cost and tire life. Commuted a few times to work, even yesterday evening in the downpour, and I have to say I like it a lot! Traction going straight is excellent and even in turns feels just as good as a motorcycle tire. I also went from a using a tube to tubeless since I had the tire off.
