Battleax 110-80/18 no longer available

Well I guess it had to happen sooner or later.

With Bridgestone phasing out the Battleax T32 and going to the T33, they are also eliminating the 110-80/18 that I usually get for the front on my 1995 1100. Looks like in the future my only option will be the 120-70/18.

Anyone experienced both and can tell me what difference in feel and handling there is between the two?

I use a 120/70-18 on my 97 ST1100 as they're easy to get. Never had a 110 on my ST. Experience with the 1000GTR where I ran both was slightly slower turn in with the 120.
I also use a 170/60-17 on the rear if I cant get a 160/70-17. No issues there either.
