Default wheelie wobbles

Hey guys, its me again. My question this time is: Will a 180rear tire make wheelies more wobblier or does it matter at all? Cuz when I bought the bike, it had a 180 on it. I didnt think about changing it out til now. I kinda dont wanna change it due to its turning and cornering ability but I do wheelies more than I do curves and twisties, hard decision. But anywho, about the wobbles??? Thanx...

190 tires are for looks IMO. I switched to the 180 and I think it handles better. for the wobbles, try changing your air pressure. before you roll out, add 2-3 lbs. try the wheelies. if they still wobble, start taking some out and trying again. stop letting air out when your wheels spark on the ground

I just thought that a 190 would give me a bigger contact patch for curves and specially wheelies after I let some air out. OK, I'll see what happens with the 180's. Thanx ibkevman
