So I've been driving around on 180's in the rear for about 20K miles and recently found out my factory size is a 190 - *doh!*....

So I went ahead and put on the 190 yesterday and what a difference. The tire feels like its a little hesitant to make a lean into the curve, but once its in there, that sucker just holds its spot with so much ease. I think when i get new tires next time, im going for the diablo corsa's just to see the difference between the pilots. I really was thinking about getting them this time, but i was pursuaded to get the 120/190 pilots. Thought I'd just share.

 

i talked to a few guys at the track and some guys run 180's on their liter bikes for better turn in and stuff like that. im sure the extra meat on there helps it hook up a little better, but i could see a smaller tire helping the turning of the bike.

i wouldnt completely write off the 180, but your right, you probably are better off on a 190.

 

i'd say thats about how i thought it felt on my 1000 switching between a 180 and a 190, i preferred the 190 because the bike was still very flickable but felt for stable on the edge

 

you runnin' the 2ct's or regular powers?

 

regulars.

 

i'm hearing the new diablo corsa IIIs are very similar to the 2cts
