And...the number one reason for running a 180 rear [in my best Dave Letterman voice]
you can sell your takeoffs to squids on ebay for minimum $50 bucks apiece[plus shipping].
170's and 160's aren't worth squat
that effectively lowers your, per set, tire bill from around $350, to $300
nobody wants the fronts, so leave them at the pirelli tent, but man they love the shred-to-the-edge rears. before I started running slicks, I sold every 180 DOT takeoff I ever had. [used slicks aren't worth squat either]
matter of fact, I'm such a cheap fu*k, I think I'll start running a DOT rear and slick front next season. I race LW, and honestly can't feel the diff [on the rear tire] between the grip of a slick and DOT anyhow. When I get close to a highside, it's because i'm behaving like an idiot.
lastly, I think the Pirelli DOT's are very good, predictable tires.
