Originally posted by S.P I’ve got to disagree with this, put a 6” rim on the back and you will loose all your slow seed turn in. Fine if you’re just on the track but for road work especially through town you’ll run wide on all those small islands etc. My SP1 was a pig through town, 6” rim. I wasn’t happy with the 916 until I put a 180 on it.
not with a 190/55 you wont. it has a higher profile than a 180/55.
So what are you going to gain over the 5.5" rim with the 180 on?

I think the 6 in with a 190 will give a bigger contact patch than a 5.5 in with a 180 - but with the same profile?
This is my understanding but I'm only regurgitating what I believe I heard.
