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.....

i can't lean my bike any further over scrape pegs knees boots and the 180.55 has more than enough grip

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.

Oh and a q2 rear won't last long on the 14, great tyre just no life out if the rear
