Converting Motorcycle Tire Sizing Systems

In this segment of the Motorcycle Tire Guide, we look at how to translate between sizing codes.
If your bike specifies a tire in alphanumeric codes - and you want to buy a tire that uses the metric system - is it possible to convert? Most of the time, the answer is a resounding "yes." Just see the link below, and translate your tire size using the chart. Happy shopping. Also find our full tire guide below: fortnine.ca/re...

Not self explanatory. SO tell me, on a CB500x with a rear tire of 160/60/17 and 4.25" rim, is it better to go up or sown on width? To a 150/70/17 or 170/60/17? Which will fit my bike specifically?
