[QUOTE="BanjoBoy, post: 1003937, member: 19829"] +1 I bean run'in 'em since I got the bike. I wuz drag'in pegs on mah test ride, so I immediately went to a 190/55 ta get sum ground clearance. The 190 makes the bike "turn in" bettah fer 2 reasons; 1.) The tire's "pinched" so it actually has a "pointier" profile than a 180. 2.) it raises the rear, which also makes the pig bike turn in bettah. I go back to the 180 in winter cuz I want the bike lower, (Don't need the extra ground clearance fer the wet, cold winter months.) and I have a proper shock/spring out back now. ;) [/QUOTE]
