190/55 is incredible. Do it.

Great price, but I hated those tires.

I have a set shipping to me that left San Diego last night.

I got a new set yesterday in the 190/55 so we'll see! To be honest, I have my set-up EXACTLY where I want it and am a little concerned...

Do you not currently run a 55 or is the profile that much different from whatever tire you have now?

I run a 190/50 BT-002RS now, so this should quicken my turn in right? Hell my bike is lowered in front and raised in back and I went down a link in the chain... the damn thing is telepathic now!

When I put these on, I'll probably put the normal length chain back on. I was testing whether I could shorten my chain and still get it on the bike. It was tight but no problem. I think I shortrened the wheelbase an 1/2 or so...seems quicker,

Got ya. Yeah, turn in will be quicker but you should have the same stability at full lean as you do now.

I hope so, it's all about long, fast sweepers down here!

See, we have a lot more tight, twisty, every corner is a blind corner roads.

I got mine in yesterday afternoon and had em mounted last night by a friend.

Went on a ride this morning/afternoon covering about 140 miles of twisties. These tires are incredible compared to the Rossos and for just over 2/3 of the price. Very tall profile, even though both were 190/55s. This tire has tons of feedback and very precise cornering ability. I am absolutely sold on bridgestone.
