Tyre size?

Apriliastars · Jun 19, 2008

Just wondering, I know 180/55/17 & 190/50/17 will fit on the Mille but will 190/55/17 go on with no problems?

Thanks

It did make it feel sharper but i got the bike with a knackered 180/55 and it was a new bike too me so it's hard to say. I run slightly lower tyre pressure on the rear when using Pirelli supercorsa pro sc2 and i like the grip but boy do they wear fast

The whole reason for asking was so I can search ebay and that will open up my options for choice.

Thanks all.

the profile is steeper so turning is slightly quicker, good tyres metzeler racetecs from the bsb superstock are 190/55
fantastis tyre when warm, but very scary in wet and cold

Im running 180 55 17 at the moment so turning in will be about the same on the 190, I am just realy low on cash and need a tyre.

BUT if anyone has got a good Pirelli Dragon Evo they want to sell me that would be cool.
