I'm desperate for fresh tires on my '99 X1.
Do you know if a 190 will fit my PM wheel and clear my belt? I do not have the fat tire bug,but have an extra set of Pirelli diablos' from my 996.I could really use them at a time of low funds.Will they fit?

I assume you have been running a 180. On my 2001 S3T with PM wheels my 170 is extremely close the the belt. What am I missing here?

many people have run 190s on PMs with no problems, i haven't tried it personally yet. the 180 is standard on PMs, the 170 standard on Alloys. YMMV

I've always used the stock 170 on my X1.I'm just short of cash and have a spare set of Ducati 996 wheels with low mileage Pirelli Diablos'.I want to mount those Pirellis' on my X1.I got these for my 996

And them,along with the pistons/headwork/cams,blah,blah for my 996 have tapped out my bank account.Over $10k and counting,i'm in over my head

I run either 180 or 190 on my alloys, currently its a 190... never had a problem with it..

+1 on the 190 on an alloy. Prefer it over 180

So the standard marchesini rims will take a 190 on the tubers? My M2 has a 170 on it and it looks real close. Hell, if I can get a 190 on mine I'll run one too!

I'm thinking you'll have to remove the hugger (if you haven't done so already) to get the tire to clear.

Sounds like it'll fit.It's being mounted this morning.I'm not happy if i need to remove the hugger but,at least i'll have great rubber.

I also blew a fuel line last weekend.I only have used plain 5/16 hose.Not good for FI applications i know.Even the dealers only supply the regular stuff.Is there some better reinforced stuff?

I've seen high pressure FI hoses in various sizes at all the auto parts stores. It's pretty common, there.

Not surprised Harley dealers don't stock it, though.

My 1999 S3 Thunderbolt had a 190 Dunlop 208 on the cast stock wheels when I bought it. No problems with the hugger or any other clearance. Fit nice. I went to a 180 this time, just because that is what the shop had when my other tire was smoked.

Even if the 190 fits, I don't think I would put one on anything less than a 5.5 rim. Cast rims are too narrow to achieve proper profile for a 190. IMO

Does it hit the belt?
I have 1 track day on a 190 from my 748 and I wanted to put that tire on my S1 w/PM wheel.
take some pics of the clearance if you would.
