I'm sure it will fit on the rim ok , but will it not change the rolling circumference ?...it's a more "round" section than a 190...

Were you just fancying a change ?

No, bought 2 new tyres for a V4S that I'd 'bought' but now cancelled the bike so got them knocking around now.
Guess I should just bite the bullet and buy another 190/55 to fit properly.
 
You'll be selling the 200 set "cheap" then lol...

Side by side the profiles look so different... 190 v 200....

Never heard of anyone having a nightmare with changing over but theres strong chat of DDC set up etc... probably best getting advice from someone in the know Joe..

What are the tyres you bought?
 
Met many S1000RR owners on track who run 200mm rear without any changes to TC. It just works.

Re: Rear Tyre Size

See above mate.


Legend thank you.

Worst case I think my mate would have the rear off me and I'll buy another in 190/55 but might just give it a go to see how it is to be honest.
 
The Dunlops tip in nicely even with a slightly wider tyre it should turn lovely.
