Thanks! BTW the car's NADA value is between $5500 and about $8000! I've spent about $3000 including car,repairs,stereo and rims/tires.

Anyone for a 300 ? To each their own but that just doesn't look right.

Really? Wow,you are a VERY sharp eyed individual my friend! Anyone else see a difference that makes my bike look "not right?"...

There is approximately a 5 mm difference in width here or about a 1/4 of an inch...

Amber Lamps · 07-18-2008, 07:13 PM

Oh and to add to my tire confusion...from road surface edge to edge my rear tire is 24 cm or 240 mm and my front is 17 cm or 170 mm. Quick someone measure a 190 tire and let's see the difference! BTW it probably should be a Pirelli Diablo to get a fair measurement. Oh and this is full of air...

Don't have a 190... or a metric tape measure

my 180 measures up at 9.125" = 23.2cm = 231.7mm

(yes, i rounded up)

Perfect! That means a 180 is approx 10mm narrower than a 200 which should mean that a 200 is approx 5 mm wider than 190. 5mm = about 1/4 of an inch. Of course THAT means that anyone saying my bike looks stupid because of the "wider" tire is full of shit and being a

How you gonna see 1/4 tire difference in a photo?

dReWpY · 07-21-2008, 01:28 AM

i will say the 180-190 was a differenece on my bike, i could tell it was smaller but then again i can tell when i have a new bug on my bike...

Thanks...I think...It certainly "feels" different but I don't think it really looks different. By my "calculations" it's 1/4 wider and 1/4 taller. Not really that much or a TON of difference depending on your POV,I guess.

I guy I ride with uses Shinkos and his 200 tire looks wider than mine by far. What I really want to know is where the WSB racers got 200s. They don't make the Rossos in a 200. Anyway,I better like the 200 'cause I got 2 more to get thru before I buy something else. After yesterday's MotoGp, I'm really wanting to look at Bridgestone....
