I am building a motorcycle powered by a car engine and I'm considering
using a car tire
......something like a drag bike with wide slicks at the rear wheel.

How is the driveability of such a setup?

I guess I'd be asking a question even before that one
- why?


I'm sure it'll work with straight roads but when it comes to the
numerous twists and turns around the country, I'm not sure if there
will any traction problems.


Turns? You want this thing to TURN, too?
