Ok another controversial topic.
For 01 V11 Sport owners:
I'm in need of new tires, what are the pros (if any) of using a 180 over the stock 170 spec tire?
My tire change guy is totally against putting a larger tire on such a small wheel, arguing the tire will be pinched and the profile that results reduces the size of the contact patch - ultimately resulting terrible cornering. I'm inclined to believe him but he doesn't ride Guzzi's and has no experience with their tire performance etc. So I'd love to know where enthusiasts who experimented have experienced.
