Ooooh Yeah Another Tire Question...
Goin' to get a BT020(rear) tire this week cause I really need more mileage outta my tires. Now here it the question...190 or 180. Yeah I read all the threads about 190vs180. But I was wondering since the BT020 is a little harder should I get the 190 for the grip? Any one running the BT020?<img src="http://banners.wunderground.com/banner/gizmotimetempbig_both/language/www/global/stations/71627.gif">Tags: None

I'm thinking go w/ the 190.... simply because of the bigger contact patch. The more surface area you spread the load over, the longer it will take to wear out the tire. At least thats my theory!!Stupidity is like chlorine for the gene pool.......

Ran a BT020 180/55 with plenty of grip. Shredded that one nicely from edge to edge without any major drama.
BUT, when I went to a BT010 rear next, you could really feel the difference in cornering traction. The rear didn't move around like with the BT020. It wasn't anything scary, just something that was noticeable by a normal 'ol rider.2001 TLS
