Yep, It'll fit.  But it changes the profile of the tire slightly as a 190 is really designed to be run on 6" rim.  Basicially it "pinches" it just a little which makes for slightly slower, or harder initial turn-in, but will have a slighltly larger contact patch when leaned over.

Jamie has 190s ntech said they would fit but I never had experience with em.... now read up a little.... would they be a good idea for chuckwalla raceway or should I use the smaller tire? I see there advantage for a high speed track such as big willow.... can you add to this?

I hear from multiple mechanics in the area that the bike will feel a bit odd. It will not give you the same feel and confidence. You would think it's not a big deal, but multiple pros have told me this. I've never experienced it, but it is what it is  I guess. They say it shakes more and stuff like that.

I'm not trying to compensate for anything..I know the 600 is more than enough power for someone my size. It was an educated decision rather than a pride decision..
