    Looks like a decent project to me. I won't get in on the semantics discussion.

    Bike tires are not designed to hold the weight nor has the side loading strength to safely carry that load (all sprung weight) through the corners.

    check and read this link thoroughly if your thinking of doing this...

    Thanks for the link and info guys. Don't worry, I'm not thinking of doing that on any car. I'm just one of those "inquiring minds" types. If someone tells me something, I want to know the scientific reasoning behind it. I do think they look a bit goofy and I've always heard they're unsafe. I just wanted to know why they were. Thanks for the reply.
