Considering how I'm more of a day by day commuter, my concerns are mostly about cost. "Would it make sense for me to do this?"

As far as safety concerns go, I'll be the first to admit that I've not seen any hard data either way the supports the traditional motorcycle tire is safer or not as safe. There are also questions of warranty and such.

If I were to go the the Darkside, I'm sure there be a adjustment period. You have to determine how they handle under you! I don't corner that much but for me it's more speed (I commute mostly highway)...so braking distance and grip would be more of a concern to me.

Honestly...I don't know if I would.

I'd be happy if the tires went back to where they were 20 years ago. 35,000 from a front tire works for me, 10,000 doesn't.
