I am gonna try out the ContiSport Attacks.

You will like the 190/55 profile. Better turn in.

Keep in mind, the taller tire will affect your gearing as well.

I run stock gearing, 17/40 and when I changed to the 190/55, I switched to a 41 rear.

I do not think it equalled out.

I am gonna install a 42 and try that.

What exactly will happen with my gearing, Vman? Is it something severe making the Dragon even more dangerous to me?

Sorry, but truly do not have any idea.............

Not dangerous at all bro.

Running a taller tire will decrease your gear ratio, so to speak.

It will have the same effect as a larger front sprocket or smaller rear sprocket.

Most people will run a 17/42 or 16/42 sprocket combo for increased acceleration.

I could tell with the 17/41 combo and 190/55 rear, my overall gearing was less than the 17/40 combo running a 190/50.

"dadofthree" any groups in SC that you know of for the drive up? I would much rather not ride solo if I am heading that way.

I would be leaving from the Turbeville/Florence area (I-95/I-20).
