Yup, which is why I went for the bigger cross section.

Nope, doesn't cut it.  The rim is the exact same rim that
comes on the Daytona, and the Daytona is fitted with a 190.
Seeing as the Daytona is a more "agile" bike it obviously
puts greater demands on the adhesion offered by the tyres
it's running on.  The ST doesn't come with a 190 because
it is a "softer" bike.
