I can pretty much name the tires that are available in 190/55.
Let's see:
PP2CT
BT002RS
Qualifier
Corsa III
ContiSport Attack
Maxxis Supermax
The Continental or the Maxxis would almost certainly give the most mileage out of this group, at the cost of ultimate grip.
Another option would be to go with an OEM variant, since OE tires typically have a couple extra plies, and are designed to be a little more durable.
If you don't want to use any of these, I would recommend going with a 180/55 in your favorite flavor. Turn-in and flickability will be better than a 190/55, and you will notice very little difference in outright grip. Only difference I've noticed between the two is that the 190 rides a little better on my R1. | |
