putting a 180 rear on would raise the rear massivley and cause all sorts of handling issues. simple dont do it. 160 tyres are cheaper anyway ! All good race rubber is available in 160 too so there really is no point in looking at alternatives. No one has ever set a lap record on a 180 and i've never even seen one fitted to a mintwin in the 3 years i've been around the series. 120/70 and 160/60 is the known and quick way to go.
