Yes you can. It will sit taller. What brand and compound?

never heard of anyone going wider on the front.
as to the rear, just be aware that unless you are a god of a rider, then there is nothing but poser value to the 200/55 tire. i seen people ride stupid fast on the plain ol' 190. 200/55 will weight more too.
bombaymotorsports is always a good bet for almost any part. very competitive prices and good service to boot.

200/50 is the stock size - do they even do 200/55? 190/55 is the best if you're thinking of actually turning the bike in the corners. Changing the front isin't recommended for nothing but the looks. 120/70 is the best size. Maybe on a race track 120/60 could work but the streets aren't smooth enough for it.

I have 120/70 and 190/50 Power 3's on my 2000 ZX12 and it handles like a dream.

200/55 is made by Pirelli and Dunlop among others I would guess.
