The concern is with the front tire.
My thoughts too. Can you imagine the "Pounds per square inch" holding that somebitch on the road.? Wow.!!

Ballpark is ~500-1000psi for hard and fast turns. It's the shear forces that cause the tire to slip though, and when the load approaches ~1000psi, the grip fails for most tires.
