if your bike still has the standard steamer rim which is 3 1/2 inch width IIRC
the tire should be correct at 140/80R17
you can get away with a 150/70R17 and it will work just fine .
A 160 width tire is too much for a stock steamer rim .

what kind of riding do you do?  I ran Kenda Big Blocks for about 5000 miles and they rock in the dirt.  Work really well on the road at high speeds too.
