Have a look at a half dozen different brand 190/50s side by side and you will see what I mean. The differences in the steepness of the crown is quite apparent. The 190/55 PP3s are a weird looking thing fully inflated. The tallness of the tyre actually makes it look thinner and it has to be cranked over to buggery to fully utilise the slick portion. In answer to the original question run a less crowned tyre for more straight up riding and a more crowned tyre if you are chasing the twisties. Just what I have found, Paul.
