Just curious guys, does anyone run a 190 55 17 on a ZX14? I am looking for a wee bit better cornering and turn in,
i figure the 55 series BT003RS would do the trick. Any insight?

I run a 190 55 pirelli supercorsa. It has way better handling!
Sometimes I run the same tire in a 180 55 when I want to be really nimble in the twisties.
The 55 is what makes the difference.



That's good to know, i wasn't sure if the big heavy ZX would react to it in a positive way like the light SS bikes. I guess i will be looking for some nice sticky Bstones, probably BT016 or the BT003RS.

At this point in time, i know very little about the ZX14 as i just got it yesterday.


I've been running the 190/55's and they give me a little more edge to run on without riding ON the bead -- more peace of mind to me. Keeps the bike from getting over too far on the front and wanting to washout. Never tried the 200's or 180's so can't elaborate on how those handle -- but yes, the 55's would be a bit more stable when you're pushing corners

I love the 190/55 for being leaned all the way over. Maybe a bit sensitive with the steering on the straights but perfect when the road curves
