190/55 is finally here enmass!!??

[Charlesbusa]

The 2006 Kawi 10r has 190/55 stock tires.  But from who.  I know there are a few race tires that are 190/55 but haven't seen any for street/supersport.

I checked out Sportec M1s, Piolt powers, diablo corsas, diablos, bt010s, bt012ss and nothing.  Dunlops new qualifyers didn't have size infomation, so maybe...

I've been waiting for 190/55 to be mass produced for street performance and here it comes.  But from who???

Who knows???   Come on, spill it!!!

wait.. I think I just lied to you.

[pure_ego]

it looks like a pilot power though.

[Charlesbusa]

ummm they do?

??

Michelin Pilot Sport, click on sizes button

[Charlesbusa]

ahhh, just caught up to your posts

I kinda thought they looked like pirellis

thanx for trying

no $20 for you!!!

[pure_ego]

I still think I'm right..

That isn't a pirelli tread pattern... pirelli looks sorta like little devil heads.. well any of the sporty models anyway. the diablo, and corsa.

compare that tread to this one.

yeah, but those are 190/50 in the link...

I gotta know what tire this is, and I sure don't wana call a Kawi dealer.. eckkk

[bigjohn141]

I do believe I will take that $20

The correct answer is............

Bridgestone Battlax BT015.

They don't show them on the Bridgestone web site yet.

If you switch to the non flash kawi site they have alot more pics of the 06 ZX-10.

Whats that? Don't believe me?

Well here is the pic with the proof.

Thank you for coming, I will be here all week.
