This works fine for me and tyre ratings correlate with my experience so far.

I just search for 110/70 R17 tyres. Since FZS rear ones are standard, any 110 I find will have a matching 160 for the rear. FZ6 doesn't have that problem. They rate tyres for durability, dry and wet grip. From zero to 3 (so 4 grades).
I avoid tyres that have less than 2 marks for dry and wet grip, since pavement in my country is slippery (so tyres last long, but need to be gripy).
Tyres need not be the same type, nor the manufacturer. However, you need to be familiar and know limits of BOTH your tyres (whether they are the same make/model or not). To be more precise, tyres on the same axle should be of the same make/model, but since motorcycle has one tyre per axle (unlike a car), there is nothing to worry. The only thing to worry about is insurance - some insurance companies will look for anything in order not to pay so "mismatched" tyres could be their reason to bail, but this is a lawyer field, nothing to do with riding.

Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
