I have never gotten to the edge of my 015(190/50), but I have never had a problem getting to the edge of a 180/55.

Agreed, i'm with you on that, but Phenix rides a ninja 650 if my memory serves me right so his back tire is skinny (as in like the front tire) At work so too lazy to look up the size 160? I think my Ninja 500 had a 130 on the back if I'm not mistaken.
