The tire reccomended for the zx9 in the book is a 190..
currently on my first 190 series tire.. since ive owned the bike
ive always used the 180's..
picture shown is a 190 series tire..
i cant seem to get to the edge on the 190's

Whats your coments on both tires? Pro's and con's

i threw in a pic of the fronts in.. im happy with those

 

Dump the 190 and go with the 180 they turn in better. The con is on wear but it is so little who cares.

180 for life lol

 

ya notstock is right.... the 190 tire make the bike alittle harder to turn a makes the bike feel real sluggish vs the 180 where turning the bike is so effertless.... the bigger tire in the back does look really nice but it has it's down fall...

 

Sup MK.

The size compared to your riding style and setup are a big deal. For example, what brand and where are they made at? Noticed that you have some checking on the unused areas. Just curious

 

it also depends on your front... what size is it? You may have to get a more narrow one in order for things to handle properly if you switch the rear.

 

front tire is a dragon supercorsa.. 120 series.....
i think there SC2's.... could be SC1... i change them often
anyway i did notice that the dunlops have a steeper
angle of tire, compared to the pirelli .. (pirelli is more rounded).. and yes the dunlops
do dive into the turns better.. but nothing has stuck to the ground better for me then the pirelli's .
Like i said,... i have in the past, ran only pirellis.. this was my first dunlop 209 190 series tire
and im not sure im comfortable with the dunlops.. .they are a little sloppy for the zx9's snapping power band... the pirellis on the other hand seem to give me a controled rear slide, when gassing out of the turns.
