120/60 is OK (70 is only for 110 size) because speedo is at the forks. So use 120/60
160/60 is the maximum safe limit for the rear, so it is allowed 🙂 – Do not use 170/180+ as those people are idiots.

The handling will change yes going wider but in my experience the stock sizes did a fantastic job. The only best upgrade for tyres is using Michlin Pilot Road 2 to Road 5
Which such stickyness and quality michelin tyre, you do not need to worry about going wider , other brands always have “confidence” issues and are always twicy in wet winter days. Hence i will forever love michelins. Bridgestone is my only backup.

Stock size rubber is plenty. Going with larger/heavier tyres will only make steering and directional changes lethargic. Not to mention negatively affecting acceleration and deceleration.
Good points there!
