Ok so I am in sorta the same position as you but am going opposite direction. Stock tires on my 10R in the rear is a Dunlop Qualifier190/55 compared to what half the riders or those who responded that they ride 190/ 50. The 55 helps in turning, but I really have no problem leaning or getting it to "do as I want". However, allegedly, the 190/ 55 offers more contact patch and easier turn in (ZX-10R requires more rider effort) which is also a key component of turning...I am thinking of going 190/50 for reduced height which is supposedly around 3mm when measured but the difference is supposedly negligible since the bike (10r) requires you to lean (hence effort). Currently, I like the way the stocks are going...Not my favorite tires but if I am basing turning, it is good so far...When I was leaning yesterday on one big sweep on my way home, it was nice...I can see the 50 effecting it a little but not too much since I have to help it along the way. Hope that helps...One of the best advices...Try what you are looking to do.
