As I am new to Bikes and Computers!
Woundering if someone could help me wit a few things?

I just got new tyres on my 06' 1000rr ( pirrelli corsa pro) Question is they fitted 190.55.17..
cause it is 55 series how will this affect my bike in handling?
should I go back and tell them they supposed to fit 50 series or just keep the 55'.

Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks

Sidewall??? would it make it handle worse cause I know in a car you cant take corners as good as low profile. Is it the same on a bike??

You will have a slightly higher riding height..if i'm not wrong. Correct me if i'm wrong..55 is 55% of the tire width length as your sidewall height..

I tink so..Read it somewhere..can't remember..
