newbie tyres question

hello folks

i am picking up my 1998 900ss on saturday and had a couple of tyre queries.

i dont know what sort of tyres are on the bike at present...but for someone who prefers grip at the expense of longevity, what is a recommended tyre choice for grip over wear? wont be doing any track days but need to get 2500 miles out of a set per year.

and secondly...i believe the rear tyre is standard size at 170/60/17...can a 180 section be put on and if so is there any benefit/loss in doing so over a 170 please?

many thanks.
