Rear tire size - 999

I just got my 999 and tried to scrub in tires today with a couple of mates on a series of familiar twisties here in Hong Kong.

Results: I rode it at usual speed and still couldnt manage to scrub in the last 1/2 - 2/3 inch of the sides of the rear...while I would have done it on my ninja636 and R1. I realised the rear rim is 5.5inch but isnt rim of such size often fitted with 180 rear instead of 190 rear? The standard Pilot Sport profile doesnt seem right to me.

Your comments are welcome.

Thanks.
