    Tires for the 06 ZX10R

    Yes, I'm looking at buying a 2006 ZX10R for the right price.

    The tires that come on it are the new Q's from Dunlop. The rear is a 190/55 and I'll be darned if I can find that size sold anywhere. I know they exist out there... cuz DUH!!! its right there on the bike. I just can't find where they are sold in that size and how much it is. Every place I look online, they only go up to the 190/50. I'd prefer to stick with the Pilot Pwer Tires from Michelin since I really like their grip and durability(they good for 2 track days + about 6500 miles for me on my TLR).

    Basically doing all my homework on it right now.

    can anyone find a place that sells the 190/55's in either the Q's or the Powers?

    oh yeah... and my TLR's possibly for sale.

    The Pilot Power 2CT will be coming in 190/55-17. This tire will be the hot set-up.

    Michelin USA should have them in stock in about three weeks. They are on the water as I type this.

    I need a rear for my TLS and was looking for a 190/55 myself.

    Tires for the 06 ZX10R

    It is a tire size that we have wanted for a long time. Taller, rounder profile that will make bikes that need a 190 much nimbler than with a standard 190/50-17 and put down a larger footprint when leaned over (like a 16.5).

    The bike may need to be set up for it, but when that is doen the size just plain WORKS. It has been a huge success this year in Pilot Power Race and we now mount it at Loudon on 1000's where we would previuosly use a 180/55 to help the big bike turn.

    It's also a size that has done very well at other tracks like Roebling, VIR, Road Atlanta and Willow on smaller bikes like a 750 and 600's.

    Tires for the 06 ZX10R

    We ordered 150 on Monday. They are in the States right now.

    What we don't have is pricing. Michelin should have all the $$$ stuff by the end of this week. I should have them within two weeks.

    120/70, 180/55 and 190/50.

    The 190/55 is not in country yet.

    If you want a 190/55 I do have it in Pilot Power Race.

    Also - Conti makes the Sport Attack in 190/55.

    That is a factory-only size for the Dunlop Q. The Kwak dealer can order them for you....for about $700 a set!

    I may end up buying the Sport Attack. I was hoping the Pilot Power 2CT 190/55 would be here pretty soon so wouldn't have to buy something else while I wait. One thing is for sure, I won't be buying M1's again; seems they're only good for about 3-4k.
