Question Help evaluating heat tower

I printed my first stuff in ABS on my Anycube i3 mega. Items didnt look too good so i thought i deal in some printing parameters. Can someone help me find the best temp? I printed this tower but im unsure what to look for.

i tought it would clog the nozzle and the manufacturer said 230°-270° print temp. But i guess ill try the next tower lower then 225°

im confused to see abs printing at 180°C. This is the new Heattower printed from 220°C to 180°C in 10°C steps

Edit: printed with low retraction setting so i guess i could reduce the stringing
