190 or 200 tires

[rustman]

Well guys, if it doesn't work out with a 200, it won't take too long before it's tire time again anyway. I got 2700 miles out of the original BT56, and a flat stole the last 500 miles or so. I'm running a Michelin Pilot Sport HPX 190 now. I've only ridden it twice with this tire, then I got rear-ended. The bikes in the shop now. I haven't had a chance to evaluate the tire, since I got rearended in traffic, so the bikes in the shop. I'm guessing that the 190 I got is smaller than the original, no? I'll have to get the calipers out...

My 200 HPXseems to be the best for me yet.Turns in better than the BT-56 and the 208,and doesn't seem to need much heat up time.I like the idea of a bit more rubber on the ground.It is not really much larger than the BT-56,just has a different profile.

I like the 190's. I ride through the mountains enough to want a little easier drop in when it comes to a turn and I haven't noticed any traction loss on take off but, I did go with a gummier tire this time.
