I could be wrong but to my knowledge Pirelli stop making the 180/60 rear tire (or is out of stock everywhere).
What is a good size replacement, without drastically changing the handling/performance I'm used to from a 180/60?

I recently had the same trouble finding the 180/60 rear tire. I’m not sure if they stopped making it or it’s just an uncommon size. I was able to find some in stock at motodracing.com maybe check there to see if they still have some.

I haven’t run a different size rear tire on mine yet so I can’t comment on an alternative. Might have to eventually if these tires keep getting harder to find.

I've never had any trouble finding tires, an alternative size would be a 190/55. Have you tried Sport bike Track Gear? They have Rosso IV's and Supercorsa SP V3's in stock. If you need race compound tires I go here: https://www.ctracetires.com/

According to Pirelli, the replacement to a 180/60 is a 190/55, just so you know.
Thank you for the suggestion.

I'm staying away from "sport tires", I'm tired of swapping tires every 2k-3k miles and I have a couple of road trips planned.
I decided to go with the Michelin Road 6 190/55, since they don't make a 180/60.
Thank you for your feedback.
