170/60 options?

Pirelli are currently doing an offer on certain types of tyre that get a £30 cheque back after sale. I’ve taken advantage of this for the Panigale but the tyres that the offer is valid for doesn’t cover the 170/60 fitted as standard to the rear of my Monster. Has anyone tried a 180? I know it’s a regular swap on the zzr I have but am a believer that Ducati (and Kawasaki) designed the bike around the 170 and don’t fancy the risk of screwing up their efforts. However it’s now proving a bit tricky to get 170s and I do quite fancy seeing how the bike copes on decent modern rubber!
(The Pirelli website defaults to suggesting the 180 for what it’s worth!)
