Dunlop makes the new K451 slick in a 200/16/17. Besides Pirelli, this is the only other brand (that I'm aware of) that makes a tire in this size. I have a set of Rosso IIs in a 200/55/17 I run in wet conditions on the track. I haven't run them yet. Other people have without performing the recalibration. I'll recalibrate because I plan to use the 200/55/17 Rossi IIs on the street.

+1 for bridgestones! I've been running them on my 1199. Great tire.

The Dunlop Q4 200/55 is actually taller with more side wall than the 200/60 V3. Take that for what it’s worth

Even Pirreli and Dunlop 200-60 tires differ in size!! Always use the calibration anytime you put new tires on your bike even if they state they are the same size as OEM... I only run Pirreli 200-60 slicks.

You are correct my friend!!!Different brand tires and even same brand tires always measure different!!! Using the bikes calibration is key.

Keep in mind that IF you choose to use a different tire then your geometry will change. The SP V3 tire is VERY tall! Not even the new Dunlop 200/60 is as tall. The stock tire is very good.
