Worth the change to a 200 section rear??

[bigdave139]

As per title, is it worth changing to a 200 section rear tyre?

Aside from the asthetics, what are the benefits?

I was looking at Dunlop Roadsmart2, but they only go to 190, so if i want 200 its the Qualifier II.

Any advice/ experiences welcome :encouragement:

Cheers
Dave


(edit to add: the Qualifier II is a 200/50 instead of the standard 190/55. aside from a small ride height adjustment, would this make a difference?)

Interesting... thanks for that ross.

Sounds like its not worth the dtc hassle for road use. if i ever convert it to track only i'll do it then!

The Pirelli 200 tyre doesn't give any dtc hassle. Its just not worth it unless you are a lot faster than most TD people. Supposed to be slightly more edge grip when at full lean.

D212 200 section has the traction light coming on a lot less than the 190. Not fealt any issues with them & the DTC.
