180

anyone ran a 180 rear? have got a 190 211 dunlop but it's just about dead, have got a pair of power ones but the rear is a 180 so was just wondering if anyone's ran one and found much difference compared to a 190? profile is only 5mm lower so am thinking there will be a negligible difference...

new RSV Factory owner.. wondering as I need to replace the tyres.. should I fit the 190 stock or optional 180 wide tyre. I really want the bike to change direction like a bluebottle. I am only 10Stone suited and booted if that affects things (less mass for the tyres to take??)

Lads my bike has a 180 tyre on the back, is this normal? (2001 mille)

I currently have a 180 2ct in the back of my Mille but would like to put a 190 in there instead, the only problem is that even with the 180, there is only 3-4mm clearance from the chain and i'm worried that a 190 would rub despite being the standard size, anyone else have this problem? if so...

Money no object do you prefer to run 180 or 190. Thoughts on either, currently have 180 thinking of trying 190.

hey all, just noticed that my bike has a 180 section rear tyre instead of the standard 190. just wondered what difference that will be making in terms of handling and feel. i assume it helps it turn in, only problem is i had noticed that sometimes it feels more like its 'falling' in, rather then...

Was having some new tyres fitted yesterday on my bike and the guy had trouble getting the beading to sit on the rim due to 1. He didn't have a high pressure bead breaker in his mobile van 2. Said they might have stacked the tyres wrong 3. Said my rim was more suited to a 190 tyre In the...

Ok its probably done to death, but come on i want definitive answers, 180 or 190, what is the best?

im cooking a pizza, do you think it should be cooked on 180 degrees or 190 degrees ? you sad fcukers thought i meant tyres didnt ya ? mmmmmmmmm ?

Anyone have any previous experience of using both 180 and 190 rear tires? Just wondered what the handling differences etc.. might be?

I was talking to a bloke today in Helmsley on a factory T, and he said he'd put a 180 rear tyre on and its transformed his bike. Who has used the 180, and what do you think?

Hi. recently joined the RSV family and my new son came with a 190 rear (pilot sport on a 2000 model). I always thought these models came standard with a 180? in the aprilia manual it says it is optional but with the 190, the edge of the tyre is very very close to the chain (maybe 2-3mm) as a...

All my friends that race fit 180 section tyres on their bikes- including their 1000cc 4 cylinders, so I've done the same with my 2003 RSV. I've only had the bike around 6-7 weeks and in that time have done maybe 300 miles on the road, a track day at Mallory and one at Brands Hatch (photos in...

I just purchased a low mileage 2000 RSV Mille - base model. The bike has had the engine performance opened up as well as a suspension which has been professionally tuned and handles great. I am going to switch the Metzlers to a new set of Pilot Power 2CTs. Currently the bike has a 180 rear...

How many people run a 180 rear?? Im just trying one and it seems to corner good but is a bit unstable in a straight line at speed. Any thoughts on doing this? I thought id give it a go as there about £20 cheeper than 190s

I do believe I have not seen a tyre thread on here yet, there is a first for everything though Do you run a 180 or 190, what size is the rim on a factory, does it make a difference to the handling
