True that or if you "exclusively do track days"....:lol: Besides, a lot depends on the bike and what size tire it was designed for.

The 190/55 is the tallest of the three, not in between.

190/50 makes the bike turn in slow....but it depends if you dropped the front end.

He meant in between as far as turn in speed. The 180 will be faster because its a skinnier tire. My blast's 120 rear made it possible to flick that thing any which way. However, because of the rim size, you need to get a 190 rear on most literbikes. The 190/50 is the "shortest" of the group, slowing down its turn in speed. The 55 is between them.

I don't know what was said but thanks for sticking up for me, Buddy!:twfix:

being the shortest or tallest doesnt really matter, its about the profile.. or i could be wrong

Yea, that's what I said but I was shot down.... Different brands and different models have different profiles so... The "tallest" tire I've ever used was the Dunlop 616. It's basically Dunlop's rain race tire with a harder compound. Holy fucking falling off a cliff turn ins Batman!:panic:

ok, just making sure that the truth was not muttled in the other non-sense....

Nah, I try my best but it does get old....

The 180/55 turns in quicker than a 190/50 because its taller, not because its smaller (though less mass = less gyroscopic effect). The 190/55 will turn in quicker than a 180/55 because its taller, but I'm saying the exact SAME tire because yes profile makes a huge ass difference.

The "55" is the tallest..and will turn in the quickest from tires I've run.

Erik put the 190/50 on his bike not realizing it needed a 190/55. He hated it at the track. After the fact, he raised the shock about 2mm to compensate and it feels better but still isn't quite happy. I think he just needs the correct size and he can be a little happier.
