I am running the Formoza FD1 165/60R14.
I think DaveJ is running the FD2, I wanted the FD2 because it is a lighter tire, but could not find it readily available at the time.
The FD2 is a little Narrower, a little taller, and a little lighter, than the FD1

Because of the radius of the Motorcycle tire you only have, at any given time, about 1" of tire width, in contact with the ground.
With the CAR Tire you will have More than double the contact patch at any given time.
Now That being said the FD1 (I am sure the FD2 is the same) Car tire has more of a radius or rounded profile than a lot of car tires out there do.
I had to get used to how Quick the New Car tire turned in to a turn it is faster than my Motorcycle tire was that was the only thing.
Since the Car tire has More Grip, and turns in Faster, for me the Car tire handles better, than the motorcycle tire did, this is down played, why? i dont know, no body want to come out and say how much better the car tire really is.
For me the Car tire is Great, i will not go back to a motorcycle tire, Unless, i just Cannot get a Car tire.
But from what I here, i will not have to worry about a new tire for quiet a while.
