have any of you guys put on a 190 rear tire on your f4? if so, how'd you like it?

 

Here is an article on it: Choosing the right tire size for your motorcycle rims - Sport Rider

It makes your bike sluggish in the corners but looks great at your local coffee shop.
So depends on what type of riding you do?

 

hey thanks for the article. exactly the kind of info i was looking for.

 

No Problem, I was going to do the 190 on the rear as well until I read that.

 

I thought about the 190 rear as well, I was talking with a motorcycle shop yesterday when they put my new front on, and said basically the same thing as the article. Especially if you are mounting it on a rim that was meant for a 180, it squeezes the tire together more, making it taller. So you actually get LESS tire contact AND a stiffer turn-in.

 

Always stay w/a 180 on the F4 wheel. The bike handles sooo much better w/ the tire size it was designed for.
