Yeah, that's why I plan to use the 140/80 Cross S, but the stock tires being 150/60, might not fit too well into the wheel well, hence the question in the post.

Bad idea.

The cross S is a much taller tyre. Assuming you might be able to fit the tyre, the geometry changes might not be a good thing.

I'm currently running S123 in 150/60 on my Dominar. Wont say its good in the wet due to the harder compound but it does last long. I pair it with a Sport Rain for the front. For daily should be ok. Previously I ran with 2 sets of 160/60 Zeneos ZN33s light ADV tyres paired with Corsa S front. But no one stocks them now. There were pretty decent and last for 15k km.

The cross S tends to wear unevenly after half way down though.

If you are looking for sportier tyres, you might fit 160/60. But with 26hp, might be a bit overkill. 160/60 is easier to find as its a standard size for many middle weight sportbikes like the ninja 650 and z650

No experience with the extramaxx. But the supermaxx ST is OE tyre on my 800NK.

I see. Thanks for the info, I'll keep that in mind when I make my decision. I'm using Sport Rains on my FZ too, but since the Gixxer is bigger stock, I'm looking for a decently cheap tire with good wet grip for the rainy days. I like the SRs, but they don't have sizes for my Gixxer and that's quite disappointing.

I see, that's quite worrying.

It s common for seminknobly or knobbly tires to get issues with uneven wear.
