2024 Panigale V4R here.
Does anyone use Michelin slicks? What size are you using on the rear (since oem tire size is 200/60-17)?
What pressures f/r?
 
I’ve run the Michelin slicks (slick 2). They recommend 36/26 f/r hot off the warmers. I run 27 to 28 rear to prevent hot tearing. Only V4 size is 200/55. I’ve run them back to back against the Dunlop 200/65 (Moto America tire) with no geometry changes. For me, the gearing change is much more noticeable then the geometry difference on my 23 V4.
