Tyre size ?
Re: Tyre size ?
Yep I'm running a 190 and sometimes a 195 on a ZX6 tracky.
Get on board no way would I run a 180 on a 12/14.....
Yep 200s seem to be the rage on the 600s these days and those boys are going a whole lot faster than me so I ain't arguing.....

Re: Tyre size ?
i can't lean my bike any further over scrape pegs knees boots and the 180.55 has more than enough gripMAXUMIS wrote:In other words the 190/55 has more "lean" angel than a 180/55.If you want to lay the bike write down go a 190/55 as the 180 will run out!!.If your an "extremest" go a 200/55 ,but on a 14 i think you will scrape the ground way before getting the full use out of the tyres.

Re: Tyre size ?
200's on a zx6 5.5inch rim are the bomb but the belly pans and gear level tend to suffer

No one said you were wrong it was just mentioned that it turns slower that's all.sillywilly wrote:I was just looking for a set of q2 for my 14 and on q2 dunlop website it says that a 180 is supposed to go on a 5.5 or a 6 inch rim i knew i wasn't that wrong putting a 180 on a 6 inch rim
Oh and a q2 rear won't last long on the 14, great tyre just no life out if the rear
