rusty Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I need some tyres for the bike and it's currently got the standard size 190/50ZR17 rear tyre on it but I was thinking about fitting a 180/55ZR17. Would this work ok on the 6" rim or not? Would there be any major handling differences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossm Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Did it a couple of times on my old R1 without any issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenstrips Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I've done it on my tuono without problems. Did it thinking it would improve turn in, but after some research found that you stretch the tyre negating the extra height of the 180/55 over the 190/50. I'll be putting a 190/55 this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
