I'm sure it's been discussed, but I'm wondering of anyone here runs a 170 on the back? I need a new back tire and can get a really good deal on a conti motion but they only have a 170, apparently the bike can handle it....but I want to know if there's any downside?

It's a 170/60/17 so I'm assuming the profile is still the same, just a slightly wider tire. It shouldn't really affect the speedo, I'm more concerned about how the handling will be affected. I only ride on the street.
