Anyone gotten a 190/55/17 on edge just street riding?

I am confused though. Why would you want a 190/55 for sport touring? They are 15 bucks more expensive than a 190/50 and wouldn't make the bike any better at all for the type of riding it would be.

My stock tire size is 190/55. Since that's the tire the bike was built with, I'd prefer a sport touring tire of the same size. Since I can't get that, I'm running Pilot Power 2CTs right now. I'll probably get some Pilot Road 2's next, and just go with a 190/50.
