Yikes! From my knowledge, a 170 on the rear of ST's would not work well.
Too small for a 6" rim. The RS's have 5.5" rims, so they might be able to.
If I recall correctly from what the tire manufacturers say about their tires,
170 and 180 can go on a 5.5" rim, and 180, 190 and 200 can go on a 6" rim.
All of the Triumphs with the single-sided swing arm use the same 6" rim (Speed
Triple, ST, Daytona), and I believe the Speed Triple comes with a 190 rear -
for the "meaner" look.

I put a 180 Metzler on the rear of my '01 Speed Triple when the rear 190
wore out. I like it much better. Easier turn-in and holds a line better.
