Tires
- Internal construction reduces deformation during acceleration
- Improves traction when applying throttle out of corners
- Enhances stability at higher speeds
- Provides strong and direct rear tire feedback
FLASH Tread Pattern Design
Pirelli’s updated FLASH groove layout improves performance across lean angles.
- Promotes consistent thrust at any lean angle
- Improves stability during corner transitions
- Supports predictable contact patch behavior
- Maintains usable performance across riding conditions
Optimized Racing Profile
Profile is engineered for aggressive handling and cornering precision.
- Multi-radius contour supports fast and controlled turn-in
- Enhances line-holding capability through corners
- Improves stability at lean and during transitions
- Designed for high-performance sport and track riding
Compound Characteristics
Dual-Compound Rear Design
Compound layout is designed to balance grip and performance consistency.
- Softer shoulder compound increases grip at full lean
- Center compound supports stability and wear resistance
- Designed for strong traction during corner exit
- Maintains consistent performance during aggressive riding sessions
This compound setup allows the tire to deliver race-level grip while remaining usable for high-performance street riding.
Performance Characteristics
Track-Focused Street Performance
Engineered for riders pushing the limits of grip and control.
- Exceptional traction at extreme lean angles
- Strong acceleration drive exiting corners
- High-speed stability under aggressive riding
- Precise and responsive handling feel
- Consistent performance during track and aggressive street use
Why Choose a Track-Focused Street Tire?
Track-oriented street tires are designed to provide maximum grip, sharper handling, and increased rider feedback.
- Higher grip levels than standard street tires
- Improved cornering precision and control
- Designed for aggressive riding and track use
- Still usable for street applications
Why Run a 190/55 Rear Tire instead of a 180/60 on a 600cc Sport Bike?
The difference between a 190/55 and a 180/60 comes down to width and profile shape, which directly affect how the bike turns, holds a line, and puts power down.
A 190/55 is wider with a slightly lower profile, while a 180/60 is narrower with a taller profile. These differences change how the tire behaves through lean and acceleration.
Benefits of the 190/55 setup can include:
- Wider contact patch for improved acceleration grip
- Increased stability at higher speeds
- More planted rear feel when applying throttle
- Smoother and more predictable transition through lean
- Stronger confidence during corner exit
Because of its added width, the 190/55 places more rubber on the ground during acceleration and mid-corner loading, improving rear-end stability during aggressive riding.
In contrast, a 180/60 has a taller profile, which:
- Creates a more peaked tire shape
- Can tip into corners more quickly
- Feels more agile during rapid direction changes
- Can provide strong grip at extreme lean angles
That taller 60-profile is often preferred for track-focused setups where maximum lean performance is prioritized.
The 190/55, however, is commonly chosen by riders who want:
- Better stability and drive out of corners
- More confidence under throttle
- A balanced feel between agility and grip
- Strong real-world street and track performance
This setup is commonly used on motorcycles such as the YZF-R6, ZX-6R, and GSX-R600.
Slight Handling Tradeoff
Compared to a 180/60 tire, a 190/55 may feel:
- slightly less agile during very quick transitions
- more stable than flickable in direction changes
- more planted during acceleration
However, many riders prefer the added stability and confidence the 190/55 provides.
Always confirm proper fitment and clearance before installing a different tire size.
