On a 130/80-17 tire, would substituting a 130/90-17 be a fitting and/ or a handling problem?
There will be slightly more sidewall height (almost half an inch) which will quicken your steering a bit (assuming it is the rear tire). However, the difference will be subtle...
Michelin Sport Active are a favorite tire of many here for the V7, and are available in the correct size.
You can google it and there a site that allows you to put the two sizes in and it will pull up a print of the two side by side as well as the circumstances and with differences.
I can't find that site. Can anyone point me at it?
OEM's are Metzler Lasertecs. These are almost wore out, so time for new shoes!!
all were better than the Metzler's.
I think you are telling me that I'm right Kirby. The tire size width is in fact a nominal. or "more or less" specification. It's nice to know I'm not dreaming but doesn't help much when it comes to ordering a new tire from a different manufacturer. Given how tight the clearance to the drive shaft is, any one have any ideas as to how do we get around this?
Now there is a couple of useful ideas. What kind of file is it Wayne?
