If you don't want to change sizes then the Metzleler's would be the next best choice. Very good tire, they had a bad run a few years ago but it was quickly fixed.

What's wrong with using a 190/60?

not much, a bit of change in rake and trail - both would turn in quicker, I guess

I've done tire size swaps like that, you can feel it - I kinda liked it - didn't have an alternate choice at the time
