Tyres help please

Hi my new bike is running a 190 55 17 rear will a 190 50 17 make that much difference as the 50's are much cheaper than the 55's or should I put a 200 50 17 on like the original

cheers Dangly

I'm a fan of sticking with the stock sizes. A lot of research and engineering went into these bikes and I think stock sizes are optimal. But "feel" is subjective.

I bought a Dunlop Qualifier in the stock size...works great for me, and nearly $200 less than the stock replacement.
