Right,

Do i go with a 180 rear or a 190 or a new style 190x55?

i have ridden on both the 180 and 190 and tbh i don't notice a difference! but with the 190 i can use more front tyre and i think it feels a bit more sure footed at full lean.

so that leaves this new style 190/55 rear opposed to the std 190/50 whats this all about then, is it any good for the road or has anyone tried it and has an opinion on it, would be good to hear from you as i need a new set asap 100% im going with the diablo corsa 3 as i hate with a passion michelin tyres! :boom

Cheers.

The 190/55 will turn in easier than the 50 due to more hieght in the rear. The only problem is I've heard that the diablo 3s in a 190/55 are on back order for another month.
