I had a buddy that put a car tire on the back of his Suzuki Boulevard once. In a straight line it handled just fine but leaning into a turn became a conscious action. You couldn't just ease your way into it and let it happen, you had to physically throw the bike over with your hips. Once it was over it leaned just fine but getting it over was the trick. That said, I'm sure this bike is nothing like that since this tire is actually rounded a bit on the edges and doesn't have the squared shoulders of a car tire. However the fat center section seemed to flatten out where it contacted the ground. I stayed behind him for a while and it didn't appear that he was having trouble leaning it over but that's hard to tell in traffic. I'm sure the point of this tire and the stretched swing arm is drag racing and not taking turns, or it's just bragging rights or compensation for other areas that may be lacking...hard to say really.
