Tires
- Internal construction reduces deformation during acceleration
- Improves traction when applying throttle out of corners
- Enhances stability across lean angles
- Provides strong and consistent rear tire feedback
Tread Pattern & Contact Behavior (FLASH Design)
Tread design is engineered to balance grip, stability, and water evacuation.
- Center grooves improve straight-line stability
- Channels water efficiently in wet conditions
- Slick shoulder areas increase grip at higher lean angles
- Promotes consistent contact patch behavior through transitions
Race-Derived Profile Design
Profile is engineered to improve handling response and cornering precision.
- Multi-radius contour supports smooth and controlled turn-in
- Shoulder profile improves grip at lean
- Optimized shape supports traction during acceleration
- Maintains predictable and neutral handling feel
Compound Characteristics
Tri-Compound Rear Technology (190/55 and Above)
Multi-zone compound layout is designed for performance across all riding phases.
- Harder center compound improves wear resistance and stability
- Intermediate compounds support grip at mid-lean angles
- Softer shoulder compound enhances grip at full lean
- Compound layering helps maintain consistent performance under load
This compound configuration allows the tire to deliver strong traction under acceleration while maintaining predictable grip across varying lean angles and riding conditions.
Performance Characteristics
Supersport Street Performance
Engineered for riders demanding high levels of grip and control.
- Strong traction when accelerating out of corners
- Precise and responsive handling feel
- Stable performance at higher speeds
- Consistent grip in both dry and wet conditions
- Predictable behavior during aggressive riding
Why Choose a Supersport Street Tire?
Designed to deliver higher performance than standard street tires while maintaining usability.
- Increased grip compared to standard street tires
- Improved cornering precision and rider feedback
- Better performance during aggressive riding
- Still suitable for everyday street use
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 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.
