Easy has made some fine points but I also have to agree with both sides of the discussion. If a CT works well for you and is cheaper in the long run then it stands to reason that the CT is a pretty good alternative to a MT tire with it's inflated price due to smaller production runs and distribution costs.
On a hyper bike a CT would be a short cut to a hospital stay but for us regular old guys not needing slightly subsonic speeds and the ultimate in handling the CT is a viable substitute. Might try it in a couple years with the Vstrom.
