Whats the advantage of running the 190? I know liter bikes come with 190's. I heard that the 190 tips in faster but wasn't sure. | ||

That stands to reason, with the beads pulled in a little closer, making the profile more triangulated... Even if it works, does it work better than the stock size? I'm one to talk, I've gotten used to all kinds of oddball handling from a corsa III on the front, and a pilot 2CT on the back. It works, just not as well as a matched set. R | ||

I have purchased a set of pilot powers this time and have found that the pilots dip in harder and faster. All ive run was diablos for 18k and I went to the pilots and plan never to go back.120 front 180 rear .great tires!! | ||

I've got a set of race compound pilot powers & supercorsa's (180's both sets) on the way  Oh yes, the racetrack beckons... I'll let you guys know which set I prefer - but I've had good results with Michelin in the past.. | ||

Not all 190s have the same profile. Michelins sport tires are usually more aggresive, tied with Dunlop, afterwhich pirelli then bridgestone. Of course they all make different types. Setup is gonna be more influential than tires unless u are reasonably advanced. I've seen people add a preload to the stones and mess with tire pressure before getting comfortable. IMO dunlops really don't suit buell geometry. I like sones for the street. Pirelli for mixed and Michelin for track only/race. | ||

yes it does... 190/50-17 gives you a better profile. That how the ducs used to come on a 5,5" rims. It will fit the 1125 fine. i run it at the moment. You cant really feel the difference but i'm not a track freak. I like my spirited driving and stunting and i could not feel the difference. |
