Take offs are cheap, but are a hassle to change every 500-800 miles unless you have to run them and change them yourself.
A super sport tire will give you about half the mileage of a sport-tour tire and for most of us the ST tire will work just as well in 99% of street rides. I am running Bridgestone BT-021's (not 020) on my CBR600 and I have no trouble sticking with riders on SuperSport tires, while sport riding. I just buy fewer tires, less often...
all troof,

but i even though i guess u can consider 180's are more commo-that doesnt mean 160's or 170's are rare. if what u got now works well for u, doin the swap is worthless. cutty said its too soft, but he's way heavier than you. stick with what ya got
