Hey Guys Im going to need some new tires soon and just wanted to know if I can get a 190 on the rear without any troubles? Also Is it a bad idea to run a 190 I was told it wouldnt matter much.
Thanks
Dustin

I would like to know that as well.. (in case of Michelin Pilot Powers)

If it fits depends on the brand as well. Dunlop Sportmax have a different width as a Pilot Power for example.

Drive ability aspects don't seem to get better, but looks do improve for sure.. ;)

I run one. I'm too slow to notice the difference in handling.

I knew I remembered seeing an article about this...

http://www.sportrider.com/tech/tires/146_0206_tire _size/

I would go with the manufacturer's recommended tire size.

Yeah we've been round and round with this one. The Pirelli Diablo Corsa III's profile is more rounded than the Dunlop D208 and is a little narrower, so I run a 190 with no problems or compromise to performance.

The Pirelli Diablo Corsa III's.......them the ones I am running now and I don't seem to feel anything different with the handling at all.

I have a 180 Shenko now but their 190 is the same hight and just a few millimeters wider, about the same as my old Dunlops. I'll be putting the 190 on next.
