Hey did anyone tryed to fit 180 racing tires? I feel that the 160 its not wide enogh for my turns, and I aredy got a patch tire so its time to change. I was thinking about the 180 racing tires as those ( https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8#q=180+racing+tires&hl=en&site=webhp&prmd=imvns&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=7twyT_GADOTu0gHwttHIBw&ved=0CKABEK0E&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=54aba9cf8f094e84&biw=1366&bih=529) .

At the bike shop I put a 180 next to my 160 and it looks like fits perfect, but Im reserching on the internet and didn't find anything about !

Did someone did this ???????????????

It depends on the width of your wheel. 180s are for a 5.5 inch wheel. It you put too wide of a tire on too narrow of a wheel the tire is pinched and it's profile is changed. Usually the handling of the bike is slowed. Also larger tires weigh more negatively affecting the handling. Wide tires, 190+ are meant for high HP bikes so it won't gain you any additional traction. Stick with a 160.
