Default suzuki rf900 - what tires??

Hey guys. Just joined, this is my first post. Bought a 96 suzuki rf900 a few weeks ago and it will need tires pretty soon so I'm looking for suggestions on brands/models. I like the twisties but don't go too crazy fast and want decent mileage (whatever that means) Also, the stock size rear is 170/60x17. I measure the rear wheel width to be 6". According to tire charts I could run a 180/55x17. Anybody running this tire, will fit for sure on right side, maybe tight on chain side. Thanks a bunch
