Patti,
Be very careful with trying to select a lower-profile tire. I know that
I once got a pair of tires for the RS (they were given to me to use for a
track day) that had a different profile, I think they were Sportec M1's.
It felt like the bike wouldn't turn in to a degree that I actually
stopped the bike to check and see if something was wrong. Ultimately
these tires proved more stable mid-corner (held a line better) but the
increased turn-in effort was shocking and pretty undesirable.
And more importantly I don't think that you'll find tires with a profile
that's different enough to matter regarding overall ride height.
Best of luck in your search,
Nate

any tires that would be good on the ST and at the same time
make it slightly shorter?
