Need a rear boot for my 999, my prefered Michelin power 3 is becoming unavailable...and it seems the majority of power 5s and 6s are 190/55 as opposed to standard 190/50... Anyone using a 55 profile? All OK? Hugger problems? Cheers.
Haven't done it on a Ducati, but always changed to a 55 profile tyre on GSXR1000's they came on 50's, the 55 is a much nicer rounded tyre IMO, and they look better.
Rolling radius will be bigger which is likely to make your speedo inaccurate and yes, rub your hugger. Andy
I have fitted 180/60 profile to my 749 instead of 180/55 original profile due to difficulty getting the older profile. Height of a 180/60 is ~108mm - I had no issues with clearance. For your 190/55, the height would be ~104.5mm so I would expect that it would be fine.
