I run the PP2TC's they are great tires for sure! I also run the 55 rear. It does help you turn in quicker for sure. It's a real nice chance from the 50.....As far as more stable I don't think there is any differance.

Keep in mind that the second number is a %age of the first. 55% of 180 mm is slightly less than 55% of 190, so the larger tire should theoretically be a little more stable and a little less willing to turn than the smaller. Also note that ZX-14s have 6" diameter rear wheels and a 180/55 is designed to work on a 5.5" rim, so putting a tire on a rim it's not designed for distorts the profile and all bets are basically off.

Also the 55 raise your rear and should give you a more planted feeling up front!
