Two days and only one reply, that was a guy who used a 190 on a Daytona.
I was hoping for more feedback.
Since I posted this question I learned that there is a new 190 tire out. Until 
resently 190/50x17 were the only 190's around. But not some companies 
have a 190/55x17. This sound like the tire for me to try. The /55 profile might 
give the same turn in feel as a 180. Since the 190/55 is so new, I don't 
expect anybody to have experience. I would still like to hear from anybody 
that has used a 190/50 on the Sprint ST.
