Ok wont be long before I need tires sooooo. What size.
« on: May 13, 2009, 08:43:37 PM »
Well looking at the Bt 016's everything I have read says they are a wicked street tire. They make a 190/50 and 190/55 so thinking going with the 55 series. The B king comes with a 200/50 stock, its not a bad tire.

I ran a 180/55 for awhile on the Busa, liked the turn in but found the edge to easy. I also ran a 190/55 take off and loved the profile. So I am thinking going with the 55 series to get more sidewall contact, it is the size that gp bikes run. Now I am not riding like that, but its still a nice thought lol. So should I go with the 190/50 or 190/55 hmmmmmm there about the same price as well.

016s are fine .All you'll ever need IMO
I have em on one bike and another set ordered for the fiz.Price is right too.
People are raving about the  new available 190-55 so why dont you give em a try 
 A bike like the Busa would probably benifit the most.

I've always run the BT002RS in 55's for trackdays, I like them and the prices are usually lower than the competition.

Bt-o16 are a awesome tire and the Dunlop Q2 is a good tire also. I would go with a 190/55.
