thepretender Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Got wrong tire 190/50/17 will it work pros and cons? F-ing Competition Accessories should have used Rockymountainatv like usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFR750F3 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 190 for 6 inch. I had 190 50 on 6 inch for rc51 stock. I went with 55. Bike handles better with 55. For vfr800 stock 180. Also the tire might rub against the chain with 190. If you want the widest tire go to each manufacturer's web site and see how wide each 180 tire is. Not all 180 tires are 180 some larger some smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer BusyLittleShop Posted September 1, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted September 1, 2020 The main difference between a 180/55 and a 190/50 is profile and diameter... the 180 is bigger in diameter and sharper in profile... the change in geometry is as follows... going from a 190 to a 180 means rake is steepen and trail is shorten which lowers the steering effort... whereas going from a 180 to a 190 means rake is extended and trail is added which adds to the steering effort... Diameter... 190/50/17=24.480 621mm 180/55/17=24.795 629mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
