You would be M173. When you look at the tree diagram at the Y Chromosome
Consortium, you'll see that M173 leads to the R1 cluster and M170 leads to
Haplogroup I. If you order a formal haplogroup test, FTDNA would do the more specific
P25 SNP test for R1b, but if you test positive for that, you would
automatically test positive for all the mutations leading to R1b.
