190s on our bikes just don't work well. And, in particular a 190/50 would slow down the steering a fair bit.

the reason i asked, i bought a rim on ebay and it had this tire on it, it looks cool extra wide but it did come off a wrecked bike maybe Jdugger is on to something. will it at least fit without modification?

I'm running the Pirelli Angel ST tires front and rear in stock sizes. Have about 4000 miles on them. The rear is pretty squared off (FL=straight roads). Mostly commute on it. They work well in the rain and high mileage is a plus.

You can fit a 190 fine, but the profile will be way off. The tire's profile will be more like |_| instead of \_/ so the steering sucks and the bike actually has less contact patch at lean.

+1 Aeholton

Angels in Stock size give great mileage but a little to hard for agresssive riding habits.

Here is something to visualize what Jdugger said.

I have gone through a few sets of the Angel STs on my 1125s and I love those tires. I have not had any slip on me in the rain, cold, cold rain, or aggressive riding. I think I am a decent corner carver.
