Just a follow up to DaveM's points.
The 170 tire is a bad idea. Your rear rim is 6" wide if I'm not mistaken.........waaayy to wide for a 170 tire! It would deform the contour designed into the tire and render the handling as useless......except maybe for going in a perfectly straight line! Forget it and stick with what is designed to work with a 6" rim which would be a 180, 190, or a 200. Stock is a 190 and that is what I would use. His suggestions on tires are exactly what I would recommend for choices.
