Update!! 200mm back tire Review.

[xtremelow]

I don't think to many XB guys go outside if stock wheels, since there are so few that can compair with the OEM and I believe there are or is only one company that makes a wheel which can retain the ZTL rotor.

I agree with you on scrapping at such low speeds but the corner I took was quite sharp.

I can only hope the size in tire won't hurt me in the long run. I will keep all your info close in mind throughout the tires life span. So far so good.

Thanks again

I like the idea of a using a 200 just by cutting a notch in the belt guard.

[brightbuell]

Thanks for eveyone's input. Doe's anyone have pics of a buell with a 2oomm with notches cut in to the belt guard?

I see this post has bee reborn, so I will do a little update.

After a full season on these tire I have nothing bad to say. They stick in the corners look great and the size seemed to have zero effect on my handling.

But they have been put on my new bike with the Ss swing arm and Scg tail.

As far as pics with a cut belt guard havent seen one

This is probably a dumb question but its seems that the 200 tires are flat and square looking. Can you get a 200 tire that is higher and more "round"

[polkiejoe]

I think they should fit?? The tires are pretty square.... My buddies 190 michelin looks wider than my 200

[delta one]

as far as I know they all start to flatten out at 200 and continue that trend as you go up.

Here is a back shot of the 200mm, same as the first ones I posted. I think it is the width that gives it a more squared off look since it is so wide. It isnt going to be as rounded unless you go with a prper wheel sizes as well, which I am to cheap to spend the cash on a new rear wheel just to up the size of the tire 20mm, I am happy with the performance of the 200mm so I will stick with it.

Here is a side by side with a 180mm to my 200mm

My 190 now makes me feel insecure :(

200 looks good, good to know it did not affect handling too much. I like the handling of my 190 better than the 180

lol......Macbuell has tire envy
:D

I was thinking of going up to 190 as well next spring.....
