Front tire size question - 110/80 stock vs 110/70 to buy

Hey guys,

Did a search, couldn't find a precise answer.

So as above, the stock size is 110/80-17 and looking around, it's a tough size to find in some tire models. 110/70-17 is a more common size it seems (there are 80's available, just a bit more $$ and not in the tires I have a chance to get a deal on).

So my question is, how much of a difference will this make?

I get that the speedo/odo will be off, and that apparently it will turn in quicker...perhaps be a bit shakey at higher speeds. I can't adjust any of the front end to correct the height difference btw. So that's not an option. And yeah, I know I could just spend the $$ to get the tires that are correct cuz it's what connects you to the road etc etc.

I guess I just wanna know how much of a difference will this make if I just bite the bullet and get this size.

Have a sweltering hot day :) haha
