Who all is running one off track tires on the street. I got a 3" screw through the sidewall of the rear 190/55/17 Avon I was running on my 929 and I picked up a set of pirelli dragon supercorsas 180/50/17 for $150.00 to run for the rest of the season.
I was thinking that the 180 series is meant for a 5.5" rim, and the litre bikes run a 6" rim with a stock 190. I was told that most racers doing track days and amateur racing run a 180 on all the litre bikes, but as I see it that would pull the sidewall of the 180 slightly further if mounted on a 6" rim.I have the bike almost leaned over as far as it can go with the back, but the front still has more meat left, but when it was on my buddies 600rr at the track he was using all the front and the rear equally, and I would attribute this to the rear tire having less lean angle due to being stretched out on a 6" rim.
I just would like a second opinion, because all the guys here make me think that this isn't the case..., but logic is telling me otherwise.
