Michilen 2CT 190/55

Okey Fellas I need some expert help bad! ;) Well doesn't have to be an expert I just need a sure answear. I have read though all the posts and haven't found a solid answear yet, alot of "it should, i think it will, i dont see why not..etc.." Im thinking to get me a new set of 2CT's with a 190/55 in rear, after reading nothing, but good reviews on 55 VS 50. Now THE QUESTION is: I have a 2004 model, "stock sprockets" Will I have any problems fitting/hitting the swingarm with the Michilen 2CT? especially concerned about the 2CT's rather than Corsas or similar.. cuz the 2CT' seem to be more pointie "taller" anyways any info is appriciated. Thanks

no one has Michelin PP 2CT' in 190/55 on their 04-05 R1?? :)

You will NOT have a problem, and will NOT need to make adjustments.

thanks again buddy :) anyone knows whos got the best deal? Im about to pay 312.99 shipped for 120/70 & 190/55 is that as good as it gets? thanks

Yeah that doesn't sound bad at all. Remember there are also other great tires out there. ;) But then again I have heard nothing but great things from the 2ct's

u are welcome, you are getting 190/55 in the rear right? lets us now how is it, if you get it before i DO ;)

Yup going with the 55's, a little apprehensive only cause I've never used that size before but what the hell right

I bought mine off ebay. $280.00 shipped a set with 190/55???? damn.. Son!!

Yeah that's the great thing about e-bay! But yeah that website is the cheapest i've seen so far.

you know the bitch about ebay is that when ever you dont need something prices are always good, at least thats the luck that I've had with ebay :)

I bought mine off ebay. $280.00 shipped Damn, great price! Well mine are ordered and I can't wait to get some real rubber under the bike. It's a phsycological thing with me, have one or 2 issues with a set of tires and I'm done with em :crash

you know the bitch about ebay is that when ever you dont need something prices are always good, at least thats the luck that I've had with ebay :) Got them 3 days after I bought them. :rock

:thumbup

Got them 3 days after I bought them. :rock Yeah!!! There shiping rocks, I got mine in about the same amount of time 2-3 days.

DAMN, I ordered mine from here sportbiketrackgear.com like you ($exy_Dirty) suggested on Tuesday,, and they just arrived at my front door :rock Hopefully I can get them installed tomorrow :thumbup

yup got mine on already, cant give a review yet since didnt have a chance to break them in and give it a test ;) ill come back to this post later, with more feedback.

Yeah, keep me posted. I won't be getting mine on till Wednesday or Thursday :rant

Let us know what u think of them when u get them fitted

You're probably going to want to consider going -1 on the countershaft sprocket with a 190/55. The increased diameter of the 190/55 makes the already stratospheric gearing of the 04+ R1 even taller, and you will notice the slower acceleration. But then again, you may not be concerned with it so much.

Hi: I just notice this thread and i was wondering what's the big difference between 50 vs 55 anyways??

Hi: I just notice this thread and i was wondering what's the big difference between 50 vs 55 anyways?? Do a search.:secret:

2cts are great tires.I beat them hard and they hold up really well! Warm them up and it seems you can lean that bike as far as you want!

Got my set of PP's from www.derbycycles.com ... and yes, they do have 190/55's.

Well actually didn't get mine on till Saturday. LOVE the 55 rear, man what an incredible difference. As soon as you even think about leaning it over it does it for you,, effortlessly :thumbup And yes they grip as well as they always have on my other bike. Great tires, glad i tried the taller tire for sure :)
