Rear tyre 190

[Milvy]

Hello,

i just fitted rear tyre 190/50 but if i measure that its looks like its still the 180 it is because of the rim width 5.5 so its cannot be wider or what?

If the tire / tyre is pinched on the rim it will have the same cross section, but the diameter will be greater. A pinched tire will have a different profile than the design profile and therefore will have different handling characteristics than designed. For example the tire may have different off-center turn in, and the contact path will be reduced.
