the guy told me a 200 metzler is the same size as a 190 bridgestone could this be true?
are there any risks by doing that<need help

If you like to corner I would go with a 190/55

If you like looking good and spending money...go with the 200, otherwise the 190 is a good all around handling/performance tire.

are you road racing?
are you drag racing?
what cc bike is it

i see no upside to a fatter tire.
Its more weight., more unsprung weight (the worse kind) ,more $$$  and wont turn the bike as well.
I dont think its even a bigger contact patch for straightliners.
Purely a poser mod.

It does not make the tire "look any wider" it is just a waste of money basically. Drag racing go with a 180, road course and street 190.

That really depends on what your going to do with the bike, if just riding around and doing (bike nights) they look cool, but with little or no performance advantage, in fact if you get one with a compound to hard and Metzlers are hard, at least the one I had was, you may end up really hurting the bikes cornering the tire is just to hard to grip good, and if your making some good HP it will spin very easy in lower gears, and I'm not so sure they really are any bigger cause the 190 pilot power I have looks at least as wide as the metzler was
