Author Message   Hellonwheels Posted on Saturday, January 13, 2007 - 12:12 pm:        Hey Guys Im going to need some new tires soon and just wanted to know if I can get a 190 on the rear without any troubles? Also Is it a bad idea to run a 190 I was told it wouldnt matter much. Thanks Dustin   Robertoxb9 Posted on Saturday, January 13, 2007 - 12:23 pm:        I would like to know that as well.. (in case of Michelin Pilot Powers) If it fits depends on the brand as well. Dunlop Sportmax have a different width as a Pilot Power for example. Drive ability aspects don't seem to get better, but looks do improve for sure..   No_rice Posted on Saturday, January 13, 2007 - 12:59 pm:        here ya go, one of the many conversations about it. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/327 77/226215.html   Rich Posted on Saturday, January 13, 2007 - 03:45 pm:        I run one. I'm too slow to notice the difference in handling.   Tbowdre Posted on Saturday, January 13, 2007 - 05:07 pm:        190 pirelli diablo fits nice... honestly it is only ever so slightly larger looks like the same size as the dunlop 208   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Saturday, January 13, 2007 - 06:52 pm:        yup I got one too   Eboos Posted on Saturday, January 13, 2007 - 09:43 pm:        I knew I remembered seeing an article about this... http://www.sportrider.com/tech/tires/146_0206_tire _size/ I would go with the manufacturer's recommended tire size.   Tx05xb12s Posted on Saturday, January 13, 2007 - 10:02 pm:        Yeah we've been round and round with this one. The Pirelli Diablo Corsa III's profile is more rounded than the Dunlop D208 and is a little narrower, so I run a 190 with no problems or compromise to performance.   Firebolteric_ma Posted on Sunday, January 14, 2007 - 09:01 pm:        The Pirelli Diablo Corsa III's.......them the ones I am running now and I don't seem to feel anything different with the handling at all.   Mesafirebolt Posted on Wednesday, January 17, 2007 - 11:00 am:        I have a 180 Shenko now but their 190 is the same hight and just a few millimeters wider, about the same as my old Dunlops. I'll be putting the 190 on next.
