Does This Camera Make My Butt Look Big?

Can one of you two link me to the tire thread? I would like to own both of you. LOL

Tye, if your talking about the ZX10r, it came stock with a 190/50, but I put a 190/55 on it and had suspension work done. If the rim can allow (smaller rims will actually make a 190 have less contact patch then a 180) a larger tire, it usually best to put a larger size if your concern is about contact patch. Usually you can get a bike to turn quick with chassis/suspension setup, but powering out of the corners requires grip. This is why GP racers run 200s...bike turns very well, but there is so much power they need the little extra contact patch. Would I run a 200? No, but a 190 on a liter is better than a 180, but a 180 on a 600 is usually better than a 190 unless the rim is wider.
