| This is really a personal choice thing. 190 will give a bigger contact patch at full lean but does NOT give you more lean angle. (check out 125GP with skinny section rear tyres!)
Just because you are using all of the tyre doesnt mean you are "off the edge" of the tyre, the side wall compresses under pressure and flattens the tyre giving the contact patch more area.
if you look at trackday or racers tyres they have rubber hanging off the edges but they dont run out of tyre.
Its actually very rare to run out of lean angle. Most of the time people who crash say they ran off the edge of the tyre because it makes them sound more of a race god than the truth. with a balanced throttle and good tarmac you'll deck out the fairing before running out of tyre. |
