My first rear tire (OEM) lasted 5,000 miles. When I wanted to put on the monster 200 instead of a 190, the mechanics talked me out of it. I still want a 200, I know it makes corning more difficult and slower, but I'm not Rossi racing a GP bike. I've heard that it will change the balance (front/back) for example: on a bumpy freeway your front or rear feels like its loose or squirrelly. But is that something a non racer is even going to feel. Also I've heard that a 200 on the stock wheel would fold when your scraping pegs, any truth in that?
Anyone out there who put a 200 on stock wheel, then got a wider wheel with a 200 tire on it? Any difference between'em?
