Most of the perceived handling difference people are attributing to size effects is due to the fact that they have installed a brand new 180/55 tire in place of a worn 190/50 on a 5.5 inch rim.

Very true. I recently replaced both tyres (replaced 180 rear with same again) and even that made it feel like I was riding on a knife edge with the new ones!
