It's not for the "privilege" of having a car tire. With a sidecar, the front wheel no longer pivots around its horizontal axis. It simply rotates. The forces applied to the front-end are completely different. This is why you usually see sidecar rigs with Earles suspensions and similar designs instead of forks.
