Those Running 190/55 Tires--Install advice or tips

Cav47 · Apr 17, 2015

I bought a new set of T-30s GT. Since it is a little oversized, is there anything different or abnormal that we should be aware of when we replace them?

NO, I am not talking about directional arrows or tread side out!!! NO Friday stupidness.

Just wanted to know if there was any advice from 190 runners out there. Thanks.

The guy who is installing them bought a shop tire changer. Bleeding the brakes on Saturday also. We are going the Dyna bead route as well. I will post up an overview and impressions. I think it might cost me a pack of beverages for the swap.

Predicated on past posts regarding 190/55's, there is nothing different about the mounting than a 180/55.

As for using dyna beads, I have used them in both front and rear tires with good success. Make sure when applying the lube on the beads you do not get it on the inside surface of the tire. You do not want the dyna beads sticking to that stuff. I now use them only in front tires and Ride-On in rear tires. Reason for the Ride-On in rear is the fact that most often the rear tire catches the object set up by the front tire. I have found the Ride-On balances the wheel quite well.
