Has anyone put the 180/60 on their Falco? I have the 180/55 on mine now and looking at the rear hugger it seems very close to the 55 profile tyre - anyone tried and had issues with tyre and hugger fouling?

I use a 190/55 on mine and there was insufficient clearance to my old hugger, so it reluctantly had to be taken off. 180/55 was fine with the hugger, but quite snug fitting.

I thought 180/60 (or 180/65) was a race fitting. Are there road tyres in that size now?

Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa i want to put on, i use the 180/60 on my race bike. I can get 180/55 supercorsa i just wondered if would fit but i think the hugger would have to come off... idont want to do that, 55 it is.
