[QUOTE="lnewlf, post: 1000010, member: 9707"] Ho hum...benn running 190/55 ever since I got the FJR. Been flamed about the slower turn in [not noticeable,run a couple pounds more pressure]..As mentioned-rpm's are lower, mileage higher, looks better....All manufacturers list a 5.5 inch rim as acceptable fitment for a 190. A 200 is interesting but the tire is designed for a 6 inch rim and may be pinched so much that there would be no width gain. Hope someone tries it and posts up. Could always send the wheel out to Kosman and have it widened-we could maybe run a 240 [and it wouldn't be square..] Fat bottomed girls make the world go 'round.. [/QUOTE]
