Any interference with the belt? According to some off the hip calcs, the 190/55 may just touch the belt when fully warm by 1.5mm. Can any one with specific experience with tire and swingarm combo comment? The numbers for width are 190mm cold, 203mm hot. I guess they mean track day hot for 203mm, I doubt I'd ever get this tire that hot, though I like to throw it around a lot . I'm also planning on keeping the hugger and guards on if clearance allows. I'd like to run this specific tire so if you've run it LMK if there are any fitment issues/details or not and how hard you ride. Thanks . Some numbers..... Road Attack 180/55 17 Cold Diameter 630mm Hot Diameter 644mm Cold Width 178mm Hot Width 190mm Weight 14.93 Sport Attack 190/55 17 Cold Diameter 642mm Hot Diameter 656mm Cold Width 190mm Hot Width 203mm Weight 14.88 | ||

I've used both the Conti Force Max and Road Attack 190/50 on my XB '07 and had no problems. I have to say, tho, I've just gone back to the 180/55 and find the bike turns quicker and just a better feel. I don't plan on using the 190's anymore. | ||

Thanks for the info. Were there ever any issues or did it look spooky close to your belt after the tire warmed up? Thanks again. | ||

I've never had a problem. I've had the bike on the track at almost 100F outside temps with the 190's. (Message edited by jumpinjewels on January 14, 2010) | ||

Gunut if this is the first time you've run the road attacks your going to really dig them, I almost have 5k on them , it looks like I might get another 1k out of them, and I like throwing the bike around, awesome tires for the money. | ||

+1 for them being awesome sneakers for the $$. i've had em on the track too with limited "greasy" feeling. i'll be buying another set for the street for sure. |
