    Hmm, Choices, Choices, 190 or 200 profile tyres

    Has anyone fitted a 200 profile tyre to their Tuono V4 and did it make any difference to any aspect of the ride-ability. I am coming up for a tyre change and there is an option to be able to fit a 200/55 ZR17 Pirelli to the rear. I used to own a ZX12R which also used a 200 rear as standard...

    who has tried 180 and 190 tyres on their RSV?

    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??)

    180 vs 190 clearance

    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.

    180 section rear tyre instead of 190, what difference?

    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...

    Which profile 190 or 180

    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?

    180 or 190 rear rubber???? opinions?

    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...

    180 vs 190 Tyres?

    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...

    180 or 190

    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
