right read an artical about putting 190 / 50 on the rear plus 50 on the front will  it make that much  differance to the
handling as some might say any veiws on what or which tyres to get next.

50 on the front 


190/50 is std on the 04/05 they put the 55 on the 06/07 to help it turn in.....

on the road you may not notice a great deal unless pushing the edges  getting nice rubber help better than changing profile .... I am defo a 55 profile 

[HammyUK]

05 or 06?
Leave it on a 55 if its an 06. You will notice.
A 50 on the front? - Why? Drop the forks if you want to lower the front.

A few of the bike mags reported that the 06/7 handles better with a 50 profile.

ive been runing 180s on the rear for over two years,and realy like the turn in speed,,,,,,,,,not sure about that 50 on the front,,,,,,think that some duff info....

yam did try a 60 on there 600 a few years back but no one liked it and everyone just put 70 back on................

50 on the front fella 

nah thats not right mate...... they are normally a 120/70 never heard of a 50 for a ten 

[HammyUK]

The mags are taking shite. Tried both and if anything the 50 isslower. Also its a lot harder to get over onto the edge of the 50. The 55 is stable and over to the edge without trying. You can spin it up at anytime and you know where it is at anytime.

Kwack put a 55 on from the start - they know something about it

[GRNINJA]

but thats the point the 50 would turn slower ..... it has a smaller profile so less of a point so a slower drop... ( I know you know hammy , just pointing it out)

I would stay with the 55 ... just get decent rubber you'll be sorted 

[HammyUK]

The mags reckon its faster with the 50 on. Moby shouts about it on his long termer last year. I know its shite. I've gone back to the 55 this time on RR's and its a different bike.
The BST's make no difference - honest

  Numpty!

Running a 60 on the rear of the 10 now.  Turns on its ear dead quick but starts to weave just a tad at  the 160 plus mark.
Front 120/70 standard.  Wouldn't wanna slow the steering down with a lower profile.  From memory my ZXR750 had a very low prof front when bought.  Not sure what it was tho.   Can't remember what the oe fitment was.

cheers guys i should have known the mags are talking shit ill stick with the 55 profile othe rear and what ever on the front now mite try rr ,s  anyone tried pilot 2ct 

[zxyogi]

Dont listen to Hammy he chews his own nuts!!

[HammyUK]

And that coming from a bear with a "little friend"......

2CT's are good, had them fro the last 5000 miles, but christ sre the RR's good.
