to anyone with a 190 rear If you dont already have the 190/55 vs the 50 your missing out! Big time! That extra turn in is great!

the profile of a 190 shits on the 180... Been there also. Go with the 190/55 if your looking for win win. No need to rob the contact patch at highway angles. 190 will last and has the same or better profile.

Here we are debating the subtle nuances of which tire size works best with our chassis/suspension and the majority of guys I see riding on the street don't even know which pressures to run...
They don't even seem to mind other than they are black and round...

Well Itry not to be condesending, BUT...
 I recently rode with some liter bike guys (really good riders each one) wearing the latest in DOT race tires and found they had no idea that those tires were crap on the street. We were tearing up some Ozark highways and they were spinning everywhere unable to get them up to operating temperature. They were take offs of their race bikes and had been heat cycled to hell and back and were refusing to heat up even at lower psi on the cool fall highways. I didn't say anything to them, just smiled smuggly as my 5000 mile old BT021 touring rubber with 36 psi in the rear hooked up and had great traction...I would have hated to have this 180 v 190 or 120/60 v. 120/70 conversation with them.
