been running a 190/50 for 8 years and tried a few sets on the street and never had one issue with the 50 FWIW and i am running a link too

i think if you have aftermarket wheels, fix the front, raise the rear the bike turns on the street very nicley without the taller(less side) profile but have heard people grinding rims with the 180/55
