    And yeah, 190/50 is the original rear tyre size for your bike, even though a 190/55 will work as well.

    Just give it a minute, someone will suggest a Shinko seeing as you're commuting on it...
    I got Shinko good tryes had no big slides and got more non wet weather pattern

    I heard Bridgestone S20 is a good tyre for longevity, grip, and some road sport action.
    They have 190/50/17, so size is not a problem.

    Why not try that?

    If you want better grip, I suggest Michelin Power Cup or Michelin Power Supersport.
    But please let me know how many hundred k they last. I am betting somewhere around 760kms.
