This site give you the difference between sizes, example of 150 vs 160. Might come in handy when traveling and finding you need tires that dealer does not have your size, at least you have a way to judge how might it might effect handling. I am not recommending changing sizes, just information. By the way Dunlop has $100 on Roadsmart 3 this month.

I currently have a 160/70/17 Michelin Commander2 on the rear and I am very happy with it so far.
It has very good grip, neutral handling and has now done 9oookm with no visible wear.
The only negative is that it has raised the rear slightly and the bike now leans over a bit more when on the side-stand.
