In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

OK, some details, please. :-k
Aspencade or SE?
Nice that it has minimal add-ons. One person's "tasteful" is the next person's "trashy".
What car tire? I have considered one (and need a new tire right now), but have not seen a proper size for the 1500.
Brand, model and size, please.

I did it on my '96 in June of 2011.
I will be at least removing it and looking at the splines and other stuff under there this year ... but at close 30K I am pleased with the performance delivered for longevity.
Handling is affected SOME , but once uses to it; it is a non-issue. Like when you first put on new rubber - the bike feels "weird" for a little while as you get accustomed to the new geometry.
175 - 75 works..I have heard some use a 185 too...
Consider the 160 - 80 as standard. It will fit but you MAY need to move the inner fender wall UP and Forward 1/4" (use a zip tie).
My next tire will probably be back to a motorcycle tire...Avon Venoms or an EIII ... Just wanted to try it...It worked fine - I even scraped my pegs at the Dragons Tail in 2012 on the CT.

Looks like wingsconsin answered the ture question.It has 15000 miles on it and hardly looks worn.It is great on the highway.Leaning in curves and going around corners you can tell the squareness of the tire.It kind of squirms, not enough to handle badly, but does take some getting used to.But last wing rear tire I got installed cost about $350.I love the bike.Amazing how light they handle, when in reality it weighs 807 pounds.
