get the 190 shinko. I have been talking to a few racers about the MT shootouts and shinkos. Ill be getting a 190 50 shinko ultrasoft. the shootouts are pretty much good for strip only cause they heat up and stick great after a burnout, but cool off too much and get hard and slippery during normal street use. the shinko is supposed to stay stickier for street use. they say to use 190 or 180 over the 200 as a 200 rounds up and has a smaller contact patch/footprint. the 180 and 190 get "stretched" a little flatter on the 6 inch rim and give you more of a contact patch. a few guys say to use 190, some 180, but both say that the 180 and 190 is better than the 200. plus the tire weighs less;)that one was from a 99 gsxr 750 im pretty sure.its all welded up now,ill get some new pictures of it when i get a chance;) that one is extend another 3" so its around 4-4 1/2" over stock plus it has enough room for a 200mm shootout tire with a 6"wire wheel.you can do wheelies with any length of swingarm this bike will have no problem melting down that tire and hoisting front end in any gear should i feel the need to do so;)
