Cornering and wheelies are two different animals. So, as Scott said for wheelies and stock pressures for cornering.

every person is different. read through the forums, there are quite a few good threads that are a week or 2 old with info on tire pressure. tons and tons of info discussed on this, but it all boils down to each person. no matter how many people reply, the only way for you to know what works is to go out and try it and turn the computer off.

You might want alittle more than some here. AS far as I know most here run a 180 rear. The 190 is gonna be alittle wider so it will be more stable with alittle more.

well if youre running a 190 chances are your tire pressure specs are 38-40 wheras a 180 is a little bit less, (36 usually)
so just run 30. it will give you some good leeway for the freeway, and you should still be able to corner ok, maybe not drag knee, but definitely carve it up.
