Default Tire Size?

does anyone know the differences, benefits, and disadvantages between a 190/50 rear tire and a 190/55 rear?

the difference is the "shape" of the tire. the 55 is "taller" i think.

Yes it is taller I am running Race take offs on mine. They are 190/55. Now I do know someone selling a race take off from Daytona and it only has 3 laps on it. But they are 190/70. if you want that lol.

Go with the 190/55 rear , your bike will turn in faster and generaly feel more nimble.
It's pretty much a day and night difference.
