Tire question

[Jonathon Jay]

I know it's only 10 mm, but I want the widest rubber I can fit before I soak the expense of a fat tire kit and move to a 250-300. Aesthetics, I suppose.

 

So what do you all think of a 190? I see Michelin makes a pilot power in this size, too much rubber for our rim?

Anyone know the rim width?

What is involved in doing the crossover to that zx11 wheel?
Regards-
