When reading the 120/70-17 motorcycle tires code, it conveys the following information. The section width from left to right in millimeters is 120, and that’s where the rubber mets the road. The aspect ratio of that first number is 70 percent, which is the general “height” of the sidewall. The 17 in this case is rim diameter, which isn’t measured from outer edge to outer edge. You need to measure from where the tire bead will sit inside the rim for an accurate size, which should also include pulling the wheel and current tire off the rim.
When you shop RevZilla for this tire size, there’s still a huge variety of compounds, speed ratings, tread patterns, mileage, grip, tubeless compatibility, radial or bias ply and plenty more to choose from. Therein lies the fun of shopping for new parts — there are still style and performance choices to be made even if you know that you need nothing but 120/70-17 motorcycle tires!
