Did you check the recommended rim width for the tire you're thinking of getting? With one 130 tire I bought to replace a 120 on my Moto Guzzi, I found that it was designed for a wider rim, and when I installed it on my narrower rim that was the right width for the 120 tire, the 130 was exactly the same width as the 120 had been, as measured with a caliper. The only difference turned out to be more tread wrap, creating tread that never touched the pavement.
