    You won't notice a difference.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    the differnce is negligible, most people say they feel a difference because they go from a tire with a flat spot to a new tire....the new tire obviousy will turn in quicker

    i've gone back and forth a couple of times

    get them cause they are cheaper

    Kham you might notice that your bike will fall in quicker. I've had 180/55 and 190/55 tires on my R1 and it took me a while to get comfortable due to the tipyness compared to the stableness I feel on the 190/50

    If you look down, you go down. That may be fun at an orgy, but it sucks on a bike

    i love the falling feel but not the one that you can't get up for awhile or ever.

    You know how you feel when you tip back in your chair on two legs and you start to fall backwards but you catch yourself at the last second and dont?

    Your asian for Christ sake

    DO THE MATH !

    180 = 99

    190 = 95

    4 mm equals .157 inches less then 3/16
