Mr Norford, you are indeed wise to go the 180 route, we fit a lot to early ZX6`s and ST`s and the riders all comment on the improved handling, same goes for 190 dropping to a 180 (there are a couple of bikes this is impractical on).
The tyre manufacturers will always tell you to stick with standard fitment: A. to stop any law suits etc and B. 190 are generally more expensive than a 180.
If a 190 is so good why do all club racers drop to a 180 and those we fit to road bikes all comment on the better stability of the bike in faster turns.
