RE: [ST] 190 rear on Sprint ST

[Brad Turner <bturner@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't tried a 190 on the ST but my basic understanding of tires is that
bigger == slower steering even if you maintain similar profiles you'll have
more mass, thus slowing things down.  If you're concerned with tire life
there are more subtle things you can play with such as pressure and
compound.

Subject: [ST] 190 rear on Sprint ST


Has anybody got some experience with running a 190 on the rear of a Sprint. 
The 6" rear rim size seams a little big for the 180 that comes stock. I
really 
have no complaint with the 180, but I am wondering if a 190 would last
longer 
without messing up the handling.
