Will I notice any differance between a 190/50 and a 190/55? I need new tires before spring and just wondering what the real differance is. I dont do track days, mostly do touring and riding the Loess Hills area of Nebraksa and Iowa. I am going to be riding some in Cali, Colorado, Mizzouri and Arkansas, and looking to do a 4,000 mile trip. My rims are stock if that helps or changes anything.

 

you will get better turn-in with the 55 series tire-phil

 

you will have more tire on the road while leaned over
