i just wanted to say a little something about these tires since not a lot of people seem to know that continental makes race tires. they first thing is, I LOVE THESE TIRES. the grip is outstanding. i was riding 1.5 seconds faster at summit and they never ONCE slid or gave me any moments. this could be due to me gettign smoother with my riding as well, but nonetheless, they were awesomely predictable. also, the front gives great feel and feedback, jason will also tell you this as well. the tires also have been wearing great, can hardly tell they have been run. i was running a med rear / soft front at summit and it was about 85ish degrees and the front held up great under the heat. they are also a nice bit cheaper then pirellis or any other race tire which also makes them nice. they were designed by guys who worked at pirelli,and they are all the rage in the european series so you know they are going to be good. all in all, i give these tires 5/5 stars and am VERY happy with them and glad that jason convinced me into trying them. highly recommended

i got a 120/190 set for 360 i believe, i can check the bill then. they only thing i did was raise the forks 5mm, but i think that was a result of me running a 190/55 in the rear. didnt mess with anything else and the bike is solid

does the 190 just run real narrow? seems like a lot of tire back there for that size rim.

i think usually 190's work best on a 6" rim (like my R1) and 180's on a 5 or 5.5" rim like our gsxrs - that's what's throwing me off I guess.
