Hi guys,
anyone fitted both 180 and/or 190 on the rear. What are your impressions and the pros/cons of either???
Thanks!!!

I went from the stock 190 Dunlop that came with the bike to a 180 Michelin Pilot Power at fisrt change.

To me it seemsto be a bit easier to tip into a corner.

Is the profile of the tyre the same on a 180 sectrion? Surely the tyre is 'steeper'? If this is the cae, how close is the tyre to the hugger, won't it rub on it?

your mates with 190 are totally wrong.
Try 180 and lower the front about 2 cm, and you will know how sweet is driving the tre on the track. IMHO

As long as a 180 will get the power down OK, I guess I will go for a Michelin Pilot Power 180/55/17!!! Anymore feedback would still be appreciated!!!

Admittedly the stock dunlop was a load of rubbish..

But the Michelin is so much better...
