55% of 180 is 99mm. 50% of 190 is 95mm, so the 180 is a taller tire.
I agree with the contact patch statement though. I do however read on the Z1000 forums the best mos on that bike is to go down to a 180 due to the quicker turn in.

Negative. Especially when you put a 190 on a 5.5" wide wheel. Trust me, the center of the tire is taller on a mounted 190 on a 5.5" wheel than a 180 on the same wheel.
