IMHO the 999 turns more than quick enough with a 190 i dont think 180's are really worth it for a road bike.
I have found it more stable went pushed hard on the edge of the tyre.
If the WSBK lads are now using 200 section tyres....

Blimey, I think (and did) exactly the same as Chillo here. I kept running out of 180 on the back of my 999S this summer.

Looks like I accidentally made a right decision!

Toseland had gone to 200's this year with some success and tried one at Brands, if recall correctly. I'm not sure he was entirely happy with it at Brands though.
