Hi Guys,

wonder if you can help me, im about to change the rear on my GSXR. Im currently running Dunlop GP Pros with a rear size of 190/55/17.

Now ive been offered a 190/50/17 or a 190/60/17 for 20squid each which is clearly UBER cheap but how will this effect the handling of my bike? I ride pretty hard, i have no chicken strips and do like to wheelie quite a bit.

I assume the rear will turn in quicker with the 190/60 or am i totally wrong?

60 is a taller tyre, 50 lower profile. 60 would turn slower compared to a 60 presuming its the same brand/model of tyre......
