190-55 rear on 06 R6-V

[Cr1MiNaL]

Heya was just wondering if I put a 190-55 rear on my R6 which usually takes a 180 will it affect its handling adversely or give me better sidewall grip while cornering? Also is it more susceptible to squaring off quicker? and mainly will it fit ! I wish Sam Smith were reading this post!

Thanks in advance.

Yeah the 190/55s work really well on the later model R6. You get a lot more grip thru the corner and especially exiting the corner under hard acceleration (just make sure you run the correct pressure to make the most of the bigger tyre).

Don't know about the wear compared to the 180 sorry, just make sure you don't run the wheel to far forward in the swingarm otherwise it will rub in the centre.
