I agree with OlafTuono, most my previous bikes have had standard 190 as with the Tuono, by but putting a 180 on the rear it handles far better.
Most people stay with the 190 because "it looks good" ..it does but 180 handles far better
I'm running on Pirelli Road slicks. currently a 190 but that's because the bike came with it and they are both new, next tyre change will be a 180 .

its all personal preference mate and all this 180 handles better than a 190 is ******** for road riding IMO
as for the T handling better on skinny tyres - its more to do with the profile of the tyre not the width
having rode the T on a 180 and 190 back to back theres no fookin difference and its all in the mind
I have seen and heard peeps who run the 180 wax lyrical over the amazing handling and still have a 10mm chicken strip each side
easiest solution is replace like for like as that's what you will be used to

Road riding I agree ..........I road race and there is a difference without a doubt. But then again if the suspension isn't right it doesn't really matter what tyres you have on because you wont be getting the responses you need from the bike in the first place.
