M.A.W.(1-800-241-2222) and Chaparel(SP)(1-800-841-2960)both have Pirelli dragon corsa(race tire) and the Mich Pilot sport(street tire) in 200 series.The Pilots are on back order till June I went with the Bridgestone bt-56ss`s(190) till they come in.The tires I have now are toast and Chaparel is having a sale on the B-stones ($180 for front and back!)

Competition Accessories is advertising the 200 Michelin Pilots as if they're in stock. I'm going to try my luck tomorrow...

I matched a TX25 200 to a pilot sport on front...works for me....

busa 2000,
If you stay with the stock BT56J OEM replacement you are actually getting a tire that measures out as a 198/50/17ZR even though it is listed as a 190. But you need to make sure it is the J version of the BT56. I had the exact same situation last month, picked up a nail. Chaparral was out of the BT56J so I got one from Star Cycle. It cost $155 delivered. Here is the website if you're interested.
