180 or 190 shinko 003 tire?

[69ls1]

Is a 180 tire better than a 190 for a busa? Does the 180 tire give a flatter contact patch that the 190? Which would be best for the dragstrip?

Thanks.

The 200-50-17 will give you the bigest contact patch, with about 18psi.

Well don't let the dude that told you that run U for too much when you get it on

The 200 or 190 Ultra soft is what I've seen on "ride to the track bikes."

Goldenchild is sponcer here and on Dragbike NW He does all my Mech work and he says a 180 is best . He can get whatever size you want . I have a 190 on mine .

180 will have to spread more to mount, if you want to run a 200 you need a 6.625" wide wheel to get a good contact patch.

Thanks for the input. I believe I will go with the 180.
