Just wonderin how many of you boys use 190 tires ????

My perfered choice would be a Michelin pilot 180 but cant seem to get to many seconds from the local dealers in my area at the min

Does it make much of a differnce using a 190 tire were it should be 180

Bike doesnt seem to handle as well with a 190 for sitdown O's and straight line stuff and seems to want to fall in on standup O's

 

190 is only 10 mm wider but the shape is a little different on some that i have seen. Bikes with 190 often have a half inch wider rim so you might be pinching the tyre a bit

 

i use a 190 if i run out of 180's

 

They do slightly pull the tyre so its got a thinner flat area

 

Do you find much of a differnce bewteen the 2 ??

 

ive found it totaly f's up the handeling on my bike but if i get caught short thenn i will use a 190 if i have to but i run a bike breakers so i get the pick of the **** tyers out the back of the shop, some times i dont even balance them and mid summer change rears once a week.

 

I used a 190 at the Santa Pod comp, and loved it. Felt perfect.
Didnt feel any different to a good 180.
But...
A few weeks ago, I couldnt for the life of me get a different 190 on my rim, even with the old boy helping me. Was really solid

 

I'd rather a 180 but i've ran 190's before. Its not the size i find changes the feel, but the make and model of the tyre. I've ran full on race speck tyres and hated it for the first hour. Then i loved it, best tyre i ever had. Tipped into circles great. But if you can use them everytime then i'd just stick to road speck tyres as they take so long to get used to.

As for the fronts, get the best of the best if your doing big stoppies. I can get another 10-20-30 plus feet after putting a new front on.

 

Not sure now i have a minty fresh Pirelli 180 race tire that i was tryin to save for a track day or a fairly beefy second Michelin 190 i just picked up

 

ive used a few 190s one was a p.power n thats thing was great now i have a race take off that a 190/70r17. yea i said 70 its tail on there. i havent woolied it yet cuz its fukin cold out and lots full with snow.

Not as good as big top brands but if you cant afford them then theses tyres seem ok for the money.
I could be wrong tho!?

 

Cheers but its seconds all the way !!!!

Dont think any stuntbike see's fresh rubber unless the riders sponsered

 

Understand that could come very.

I have a shop down the road who keeps good 180 tyres for me plus got tyre changer at my other work shop.
