If you have stock rims 180 slicks. If you have the lighter 5.75" daytona rim you use 190s | ||

190/65 are the slick sizes for AMA. No bikes run the stock tires sizes. Jaycent Gebers #5 Old Glory Buell AMA PRO Moto-GT | ||

So i can't run 190/65 in ccs? or i can? will they fit with the stock swing arm? JT | ||

There's no rule against any tire size in CCS, just whether or not slicks are allowed. The 190/65 info is new information to me. Interesting. | ||

Also when you buy from the trackside vendor - ASK questions. Dunlop makes different carcass constructions and I remember when Higbee was trying different tires, one of the Dunlops grew enough at speed to actually rub HARD on the swingarm. Dunlop just got him a different carcass - same compound - good to go. He still runs Dunlops - but you gotta ask about it. It makes a huge difference. Wish I could say WHICH construction that was (I'm a Pirelli guy) but the Dunlop confusion always has me in its grip - huge selection in compounds AND selection in construction.

The 190/65 fits our XB12R no problems. When you go to a wider/taller tire make sure you adjust the ride height to make sure the handling will remain.  Jaycent Gebers #5 Old Glory Buell AMA PRO Moto-GT (Message edited by blake on August 27, 2009) | ||

190 OR 195/65 and is that on stock rims? JT | ||
| Buellroadracer |
190/55 is the dot size we run. 190/65 is the slick size. Sorry the 195 was a typing error | ||

Last January I was at the WERA race in Las Vegas. I had a chance to talk tire sizes with Josh Bryan that rides for Latus. At the time he was a Pirelli distributor on the west coast. He said to definitely stay with 180's on the rear. Something about profiles. I have a 190 on now and will be going back to a 180 with next change. |
