Re: Tyre recommendations.
Here's a thought, maybe they're marked for m/c use because the load rating is too low for car use?

Re: Tyre recommendations.
the rating for your tyres are the same reason as trike front tyres because of running at lower psi the sde walls are reinforced

Re: Tyre recommendations.
There was a Can-Am at the rally we went to last weekend so I had a look and the front tyres were marked "MC 165/55 R15 55H". 55 load rating is a maximum of only 215kg and that's probably why they're also marked MC and 'for special motorcycle use only', they're not strong enough for a car - just to give a comparison, my wife's little Suzuki Swift tyres are 500kg rated, our trike car front tyre load rating is 630kg and the car rears are 975kg, not really relevant to you but it gives an idea of how lightweight yours are.
If I had a Can-Am then I'd go for ordinary car tyres - unless doing track days, would I really notice any difference?
