nick11h Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Good Morning 1 and all Can any1 help please... I need to change the rear tyre on't bird and have noticed that it is fitted with a 190 mitch tyre, Is this common practice to improve handling and if so does it work as i'm not overly confident in the handling at the moment or is it some cackhanded tyre monkey's way of getting round an ordering delay? On all my previous sport tourers i have always run with bridgstone 020 or 021 and been happy with wear and handling. Can anybody advise and comment please. cheers for now Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmeupto125 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Use the correct size for the bike.....180/55-17. The 190 series tire is too wide to fit properly on the stock XX rim, and will affect the feel of the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
