I've tried the 180/55 on the rear and it's just fine! That being said I
switched back to the 170/60 a while back. :^) Side to side transitions are
a LITTLE slower with the 180/55. It's actually something you might not
notice, but it's there. The important thing is getting that 120/70 on the
front and keeping the pressures up to 38F/40R.

I thought we reached a consensus a while ago that 120/70 in the
front and 180/55 in the rear was the ideal setup for the GTS. When
did people start going back to the 170/60 for the rear?
I'm on my 5th set in the 120 and 180 size (Dunlop 207) and haven't
noticed any poor handling traits as the tires wore.
