Don't worry.. for instance michelin pilot powers look like true poser tires at first glance as you can ride the chickenstrips of very easy. But they will lend themselves for good angle's of lean!

190 will take more effort to lean in, as far as I know..!

im not too bothered about the effort i just dont wont to run off the tyre!!!


whats these 190/55 that are out ?

Sorry, I should've read better but a 180 or a 190 isn't making the difference. For what I've experienced you can go way further then you think. If you got same type of front tire I think it's safe to say you can look on that one to see how far you can go..

yeah they are a the same tyres they are metzeler racetecs if that makes a difference :O

Do you have a 5.5" rimor the stock 6".
The profile of the 180 is streched when used on the standard rim. You will scrape the pegs/side stand before you run out of tyre.
I prefer the 180 but I have 5.5" rim.

its the stock 6 inch rim

so im safe to start going mental and trying to scrape pegs then :laugh
