You are not supposed to run mix matched tires, but if you are just a cruiser or straight liner, you will be just fine.

should be ok, but change it at your earliest chance

For normal riding you'll be fine...for twisties I don't recommend a 200.

i would agree, if you are going to take twisties or anything but going straight switch out the front tire as well but otherwise should be no problem.

i thought the same thing until this weekend. It hangs in there. a little more effort on your part, but it'll stick

I don't know but I been told, you can run mixed tires as long as the front is stickier than the rear. For me, however, I don't ride nearly hard enough for it to matter so I mix and match 'em all the time!

Here's a link that might get your blood boilin', Rich. A 190/55 tire for a reasonable price.
