Rear tyre size difference?

Rear tyre size difference?

Is there a big difference between the 190/50-17 to the 190/55-17 for your average rider (non hero!!), I know about the 55 has quicker turning properties because its higher but does it make that much difference?

spec for the bike is 50 and not 55. there is a 55 on the rear at the moment but i have fook all confidence this time of the year on it because of the tyre (diablo rosso II), great tyre in the summer time to be fair. the front tyre is gone and a bit left on the rear but I want to change the set. its also handy to get a 50 but i’d have to wait for a 55.

if you’ve had experience between both, your advice would be great

cheers:thumbsup2:
