- bigfudge 5y agoNot because tyres explode tho
- wintermutestwin 5y agoBut not because the (incredibly lightweight and skinny) tires failed due to speed.
- peatmoss 5y agoI was thinking the failure condition there is that the compounds in the tire were insufficiently grippy to hold the surface of the road in a corner. That’s certainly my biggest worry on a motorcycle. (Edit: it’s also where a great deal of engineering work goes into motorcycle tires)
