I have the option to go 200 on the rear. Anyone done it... pros and cons?

Make sure the overall circumference is similar to stock. 190/50 rear caused traction control issues for me. Back to 190/55 and all is good.

I installed a Bridgestone 200/55/17 and bike rides way smothered not sure on handling seems okay still experimenting but it is a little taller because it pulls it in on 6 inch wheel not a whole much wider
