Had time Saturday to pull wheels and take them to my buddy to get my new PP 2CT's mounted...
I put about 100 miles on them Saturday, scrubbed them in pretty good. Holy cow they feel great... they stick well but even better and more important to me they communicate great too. I like "feeling" what the bike is doing.
I can't really notice gearing difference from the taller tire... this 190/55 was a good 1/2 inch taller than the old worn 180 but due to the "roundness" of the new 190/55 transition in corners is pretty seamless now compared to the sort-of-flat 180 that was worn in the center.
MotoSport had a sale, so I ordered some PP 2CTs
-120/70-ZR17
-190/55-ZR17
Went ahead and jumped up to the 190/55.

Clearance... 190/55 is definitely bigger than my old worn 180... Also wet sanded the lip on the rear sprocket and took off the guards...

Rear is beefy looking with the 190/55...

180 vs 190/55 side comparison

PP 2CT's are great tires
I ran a 190 on the CR and liked the taller profile a lot on that one. No clearance issues and seemed to turn a little better, but probably just that new tire smell
