going from 160/60/17 to 170/60/17 on f3

Hi. I'm planning to go a size bigger on my 95 f3. the stock size is 160/60/17 on the back, but I want to try on a 170/60/17. I know that it'll fit the rim, but the question is will there be any change in performance and handling? If so, what will it be? I do a lot of hard twisty rides around town with the 160 and it worked great, but will the 170 change any of that? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes it will but not much the wider tire will not turn in as well a lot of people will go from a 190 to a 180 rear tire on a 954 RR to make the bike turn in faster you would be doing the opposite of that. But it would look good.
