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

160s are just as common as 180s, and much more common than 190s. Mainly because you see tons of SVs, and now 650Rs racing in club events Lots of older supersports used 160s also. Only problem is, most of the package deals (both tires for the price of a rear) are for 180/55s and 190/50s. You can put a 180 on an SV or 650R, but it's far too much work swapping the swingarm and reindexing the sprocket for too few benefits.

So basically your post is worthless.

You calling me fat?!?!?!

Guess it depends on how you like your suspension set up. I like it on the stiff side.

I have a stack of Diablos in my basement, When they had the buy a rear get a front. I got a set, my dad got a set, my wife got a set at work, and a friend of mine that does not ride got a set. It helped that I had a friend that already sold them and sold me the rears pretty cheap.

Such a generous friend you are.

I thought I'd use them up in a year or two but I forgot I'm married and we don't ever ride anymore.
