Here's a problem I had...MY '04 came with a 170 mounted on a 5.5" wheel and I could easily run out of tire. Did not have enough lean angle with the 170. Now, I will admit this could have very possibly been the brand/style of tire as I never tried a different 170 when I ditched them. That was not a very confidence inspiring feeling and it wasn't hard to do on that bike. I ran out of tire before the body work started dragging and for the guys that have late model SS's, you know that doesn't take much. Doubt you'd experience this with a 170 or 160 mounted on a 4.5" wheel, but that's what happened to me.
