190/55

Just checking before I order and get em fitted! I know some brands of 190`s can foul the chain while 55`s can rub the hugger when hot... Anyone had issues with this model of tire in that size on a 01/02 mille??? Thanks in advance ;)

Alright guys, I bought 3 sets of tyres from a guy at TrackDayForums. Go them at a good price but won't use one set, so selling here before ebay!! They are both K3 compund. Rear has just started to square off a wee bit, perfectly useable though, ideal for Track. They are in perfect condition for...

Does the 190/55 tyre sit less wide on the rim than a 190/50? Does the extra height affect how close it sits to the chain? I'm looking for a tyre that gives more chain clearance than the 190/50 and slightly reluctant to get the 180/55 due to having had grip issues before with the thinner tyre...

Does anyone running a 190/55 think lowering the bike a few mms would be beneficial in comfort? Sometimes I go on 2hour rides or longer and my back is killing me after. Maybe I'm just being a baby but I figured getting an adjustable link would level out to where it was originally. Just a...

Just wanted to know if anyone has fitted the BT-016 on a Mille (specifically the '00.5). Just want to know if I should take the risk of getting these and possibly dealing with chain rub on the tire or stick to the trusty 'ol 180/55

I made some changes today, my 'hooked' airbox modification kit arrived today :doug so lunchtime today I put it on, a simple 20min job. It's a nice quality bid of kit and it all fitted perfectly. While I was at it I changed my rear tyre for a Diablo Corsa III, 190/55. I did have a corsa 180/55...

Pah! Don't listen to people telling you "190's are for show", I went from a 180/55 to a 190/55 yesterday and all of the cornering issues I had vanished. Full lean was not a problem and I had awesome confidence. Ok, it was harder work than a 180 but well worth it. I'm going to post pictures...

Thought I'd go for the 190/55 for my spain trip in a couple of weeks,re fitted the wheel tonight to find that the tyre is 20mm larger diameter to the 180/55 I was running,both BT 016,problems Ive got is now the tyre is lightly scrubbing the hugger,which will only get worse with speed as it...

Sorry, I know this is old ground but I did try searching for the answer! From this forum I've learned that a 180/55 Pirelli/Metzeler is ideal, but for a Dunlop the 190 is preferrable. (Due to 6" rim). We've also learned that the 190/55 gives a better contact patch than a 190/50, and the higher...
