120/60/17 vs 120/70/17

Yeah if you switch to the 70 you will need to raise up the fork tubes. In exchange you get a better selection of tires, plus a better sidewall that is more suited for cornering. Gives you more margin to play with. On my SV I don't remember having any chicken strip on my 60 series but after I switched to 70 I had a big one.
