i think it's fine, not like you're going to push the bike to the limits on the street.Is it safe/advisable to put 190/55/17 tires on a 200/55/17?
None of the sport touring tires are available in the 200 sizes, only the hyper sport tires
Why not ? I have them on a couple of my bikes and for street use they are totally adequate. Don't knock 'em if you haven't tried them.Shinko's? ?
had no clue, thanks for the heads up!I know that BMW and most likely KTM are explicit in warnings to not change the tire size especially with bikes like yours with the IMU and the full electronic suite.
Would check the bike specific site to see what others have to say.

Which bike is this for?
The 1290 Super Duke comes stock with 190/55 tires. Are you asking if it's safe to put a 200 on it?
I believe gen 1 and 2 came with 190/55 tires, the new 2020 gen 3 comes with 200/55
TC might not be happy with the circumference difference
bike would turn a bit easier with the 190 but have a bit less edge grip

190/55-R17 tires are 0.43 inches (11 mm) smaller in diameter than 200/55-R17 tires and the speedometer difference is 1.7%www.tacomaworld.com
Getting Avons this year has been a disaster. I don't know what the problem is, but supply chain has been hooped.haven't heard anything about this particular tire
but I do rather like Avon

Well hold on here :/ is the original tire a radial and you are replacing it with a radial ?Is it safe/advisable to put 190/55/17 tires on a 200/55/17?

Where on god green earth would you expect to buy a bias ply tire in those sizes.Well hold on here :/ is the original tire a radial and you are replacing it with a radial ?
If not that idea sucks.
I can't know what he did not say and it did not immediately send me scrambling for tire catalogues.Where on god green earth would you expect to buy a bias ply tire in those sizes.
