Unfortunately they dont make them in 190/55's and 55's rule :)

The Corsa III's i've got on the bike now, have done 3 track days ( 1PI & 2 EC ) and 3000 kms and they look like they have another 3000 to go.

190/50, the diff is negligible Ive been told, bump the rear up 5mm if it really bothers.

I love pilot powers, however I am moving to a pilot power front and pilot road2 rear..certain hooligans I know rate the road2's as well as the powers on the back... 8)

320 psi .... you need a truck tyre pump OK .... now fark off to Bali .... :lol:

Nah.. its just that I got told there is max about 5mm diff in ride height is all between them, but with the difference in profiles between the manufacturers they are actually both really close anyways ?

I still cant imagine a difference big enough to feel ??

Taken the Crim out a coupla times this week, i must say except for the front one going out of round & "Pattering" I'm quite fond of the "Pilot Races" Problem with the crim is by the time I've used to it the rear one is "compAAAAletely fugged" so I guess I'll be heading down to the Tyre cave with my lunch box & a "pletherer of Poor people" jokes in the near future :lol:

Its all about the contact patch.. on a 190/55 or even better a 190/60 you get a bigger contact patch when at full lean.
