Good to know with the different size, but will it make a big difference with the speedo?rettags said:In the May issue of MotorCyclist, they fitted the 1098s with 190/50 tires which helped the handling because of the "1098's tail high attitude". You may want to look into this size. Also, when it comes time for me to buy new tires, I'll be looking at the Michelins. I've run Dunlop Qualifiers and Pirellis before, but I'm a fan of the Michelin Pilot Power.
