Hi gang,<br />
<br />
I was looking at some photos, last night, when I noticed that there were two different types of front tire. One was what appeared to be a large motorcycle tire. The other looks like the automobile front tire that I'd become accustomed to seeing. The difference got me to thinking about how the front tire contacts the ground, though. If the wheel turns much like a motorcycle wheel, then it seems like the tire would be riding on its edge. If it turns more like an automobile, then there would be a larger contact patch (good for braking). I couldn't find any video that made it apparent which of these options was the right one, but I knew you guys would have the answer. <br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
