After riding with these tyres for a year they are excellent value for money and I can highly recommend them

With an MOT on the horizon and judging my 180 was heading for an advisory i chucked on a 170/60 and just to and from the MOT station the back end felt a bit sharper.
Time will tell i guess once i have a few more miles on the new rubber

It definitely makes the bike more agile, it fits the rim with less rubber over the edge, making it easier to turn into bends, I'm sticking with 170's

I never knew the bike came standard with 170.
I have only ever ridden it with 180 and it handles well but of course I have nothing to compare it to. I had some 11 year old Bridgestones on mine and my gosh what a difference it made to handling when I put some new rubber on it.....

Changing subject slightly I used to run Dunlop Supersports on my bandit. I happily paid and never noticed anything wrong with the bikes handling. Then I couldnt get them as they were discountinued. Found out I had been running 10 year old new tyres. Had new Dunlops put on and boy what a difference.
