    Hi all iv searched and cant find any info on this, i want to know will a 200/55 pirelli diablo supercorsa sp rear tyre fit with a genuine honda carbon hugger. Iv had a look and there seems to be a fair bit of room but im not sure before i order my new tyres im torn 200/55 or 190/55 as i still want to use my hugger its for a 2012 blade

    Thanks craig

    I ran a 200 a while ago, it will end up burning a hole in your hugger! It doesn't rub till you start pushing on, it's the tyre deflection that causes it to rub, mine was spaced out by a few mm but still ended up rubbing.
