From 50 to 55 profile?

[dilz]

is it ok to change my 50 profile to a 55 on my 190/17 corsa3 ?
what will the difference be? on my last track day i scrubbed up the entire tyre so there was zero un-used surface on it,will this profile change how much lean angle i will have to use?
p.s it is the same tyre (corsa3)

thanks :2thumbsup

should help with tip in (faster), but shouldn't be any problem what so ever

i am running a 190/55 on my k4 600 at moment with out issues

changing to 55 profile is fine we went down to a 180/55 on our k4 1000, 190/55 are becoming alot more common.

the 190/55 gives you the high profile of the 180/55 (better tip in etc), but being 190 you got the bigger contact patch.

Plan on heading down that route on the rsvr when due for replacement (got a 180/55 at moment)
