Question:
Knobbies vs street tires motorcycles?
Are knobbies dangerous on the street if so give some advice how to be as possible
Answer:
Actually, the average cigarette has a lot of chemicals added to the tobacco. There are a few main things people worry about. The first is that it is an extremely common practice to add outright dangerous chemicals - for example, ammonium hydride (ammonia) is added as a catalyst for the nicotine. This means that you're smoking ammonia so the nicotine has a greater effect and is therefore more addictive. Also, people have shown an astounding amount of herbicides and pesticides. Also, most (if not all) cigarettes contain some form of sugar, generally molasses. Lastly, most commercial tobacco has perfumes added to it. Unfortunately, tobacco is probably the least of your worries.
Not if you use DOT approved knobbies. Knobbies require slower speeds on the highway than road tires.
A knobby tire has much less grip on the street because there is so much less surface area in contact with the pavement. Makes it more likely to slide out if the rider is not very careful, and that would be considered a danger. If you do ride with knobby tires on the street, be extra careful. Of course street tires off road have the same effect, for the opposite reason. Large flat area, so they can't dig in for grip. Probably not as dangerous, as you just slide out at low speed and fall in the mud. But still pretty useless. There are also multi-purpose tires, that are mid way between to two. They are of course a compromise, not quite as good in either situation, but good enough to be safe and usable for both. Commonly fitted to Adventure type bikes designed for both touring and some mild off road use as well.
I like lanab's answer. I am curious about all the conditions you will ride. Adventure tires may be a good suggestion. Aside from tires bikes have limitations. If you live down a dirt road that must be traveled before finding rock, sand, or paved you can put knobbies on anything. But, most bikes have a narrow clearance between tire and front fender. Leading to mud packing that will stop your front wheel. True dirt bikes have fenders fixed to the steering triple tee. Cruisers fenders are fixed to the bottom of the forks. Maintainging a close clearance. Snow can pack also to stop your wheel. A good do-it-all bike is lite, has foot pegs below you so you can stand on rough surfaces. Has good low rpm power, enough to putter, yet will find most power in the mid range. The new requirement is a sixth gear for the higher speed limits. The honda cb500x is the best example i can think of. Classified as a adventur/tourer. 45 hp 66mph. Capable of over 100mph. But will putter down alleys too. I have taken bikes with street tires down muddy roads. On a light bike with ample fender clearance this can be done daily if less than a mile or so. Just cpnsider your use. My preferece. Make the bike safest for the condition you will be in the most traffic. You can adapt to any condition. Cagers can't, don't,or won't.

This Site Might Help You. RE: What does an Additive free cigarette mean? AND NO ANSWERS LIKE SMOKING WILL KILL YOU BLAH BLAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? I smoke a brand that says that it does not contain any unnecessary additives in it, now I know that this means it's not a safe cigarette but what does No additive or hardly any additives mean in a cigarette? Like does it mean it would be easier on your lungs or something? Please.
