I can testify to this, because I have them on mine - superb grip, feel and response. If that was my objective though, I'd revert back to sports bikes. Completely ruins the look and the spirit of the bike in my opinion which is why I'm changing to dual sports tyre next year. Learnt to ride off road, so perfectly comfortable with the rear breaking loose. Might even stick the OEM DT3-R stock rubber back on it despite the ridiculous hysteria about them and road test snobbery. Quite frankly I think road tyres look shit on this bike and I want something more in keeping with what it purports to be...a flat track racer. Shame that the 2019 bike won't accommodate the Pirelli MT60-RS without changing the wheels.But the 160/60-18 is the way to go on the stock 18" rim.
Mileage is largely depending on your right wrist. Anything between 3 and 6k miles is possible.
Ahh and this is my dilemma right here, change the feel and look with new shoes or keep it as the engineers intended?I can testify to this, because I have them on mine - superb grip, feel and response.

Yep, that was the first thing I did. Maybe it's that I'm used to the even taller AX41 on the black bike. Either way the red bike doesn't feel as nimble.Did you drop your front forks a little to compensate for the slight decrease in height with the 160?
