RE: Tires????
What front tire do you have? What rear did you have? What type of riding do you do?
If you take your bike to the trackmatch thefront and rear tires or you never know what can happen at 150 when the tires are mismatched.
Personnally Iwould buy the matching rear tomy front tire or if you don't like them and they altready match then switch out both front and rear tires at the same time. Or for now buy the rear tire of brand and model that you want to try and buy that front later.
I am going to try the Continentals when I need tires because I don't push mine enough to go all out on tires that need grip for the track. I heard they last a long time when commuting. Either the race attack, road attack, force attack, or contiforce max. Not sure which just yet.From what I understand they are slightly cheaper and last longer than the Dunlop, Bridgestone, or the Pirellis.

THAT is funny. Yeah, I suppose they could.......IF they happen to be the brand sitting on their shelf overpriced. LOL
Your local dealer coul also give u some knowledge on the situation,

alrighty.. so, if you have a 190 rear tire..
i would assume that you have a liter bike..
and i would also assume that if you are asking us for tire suggestions you dont take your bike to the track.. (most people who do track days know what tires they want)
Michelin Pilot Power. best dual compond tire on the market.. (in my opinion)
and if i were you i would replace the front tire as well.. it could save your life..

Dunlops...Qualifier's if you have to have that size.
If you ride alot of streets, espceially rough ones, I'd go with Avon Viper Sports
(I think they come in tht size.)
I am running Michelins now, but at 180/55/17 and 120/70/17...
Most unpredictable and ever changing tire yet.
Not a waste of money though...because now I know what NOT to buy.
Never have tried Metzler's or Pirelli's.
Pirelli's are Italian, so you couldn't go wrong there.
