How wide can i go with the rear tire? Anyone gone a bit wider and is it worth it?
Gonna have to get anew rear for MOT soon

190/55/17 no bigger but it slows the turning down

Can't ride but it don't stop me trying

190/50 slows down the steering (flatter profile), particularly mid-corner. A 190/55 (particularly on a 6-inch rim) maintains the same basic profile while raising the ride height slightly and putting a bit more rubber on the road. Having tried all of them, I strongly suggest you stick to the 180/55, especially if using the stock 5.5-inch rim......

Can't praise Sportsmarts enough, they suit this bike really well.
