I ran 180 size Sportecs and Diablos on my 01 900SS with excellent results. I'd say anything with a 5.5 inch rim should get a 180. The 620 and 750 SS used a 4.5 inch rim with a 160 series tire. I think the 800 SS uses a 5.5 inch rim like the 1000SS and most of the SBKs. I'd say that is a more important factor in determining tire size than engine displacement when it comes down to handling. Maintaining the tire's profile is the issue. Streching a 170 over a 5.5 inch rim is just as bad as sqeezing a 180 on to a 4.5 inch rim IMHO.
