My guess is that it is a profile issue with the tire in my size along with the conditions I ride in. When it rains, I usually pick up speed as all the speed monitoring devices have issues working in the rain, and motorcycle from the rear is particularly bad in the rain. The RAs are the first tire that has caused me to have to dramatically slow down. The 180's have a much wider contact patch that actually needs a tread pattern that can evacuate water. Follow the groves in the tires, they don't go anywhere, the just end, and end in the middle of the tire. I've not had them slip in a big way, it is more of a dance that the rear end does in the wet.

I run the Bridgestone BT-021s on my YZF. They've lasted me a good while (6k +) and i liked them well enough to get a second set. I got a Front and rear from motorcycle superstore for $200 once you do thier price match and coupon codes. I don't know what kind of rider skill I posess, but I did my first track day on them and they never broke loose there.
