I wouldnt bother at all, lot of 17"'s around out there.
If you really in a pinch, just about every sport/street bike use something like 120/70x17 for a front tire and you could use that.
I've traveled in just under 20 countries in Europe, and only once did I need a tire (actually here in Denmark), when i had supermoto setup with a nail so big, that the tube kept getting flat.
Modern dualsport tires like Heidenau K60 ect will give you a lof of miles for a bike like the Xt.
