Ronin, I use both on my RC. Power Race 190/55 (soft compound) street tires for when the track is slightly wet. I use the 180/55 michelin (s1200/s1800) slicks when the track is dry. The RC comes with 6" rim and recommends 190/55 but both tires wear equally. Contrary to what the others have suggested, my experience indicates the 190/55 turns in slower/harder than the 180/55. I say give them a shot, you will not hard the bike in any way and if you don't like them after a few sessions, I'll take them off your hands as the RC eats tires almost as quickly as gasoline.
