Mismatched Tire sizes...
Previous owner had replaced front tire with a 120 due to damage. Stock 130 is in rear. Center of tire is completely bald. Aside com the baldness, what will the 120/130 combo do? Also, if I replace rear with a 140o or 150, should I be concerned about different brand tires, tire life? Thanks~

Changing the tire size will affect things like your straight line stability and tip-in (same thing, I guess), but there's nothing inherently wrong with running different tire sizes than stock.

the wider front tire on the same size rim will pinch it a bit making your font higher which isnt what you want for good handling. maybe pinching a big tire on the rear would even it out. hey and then they would both be kinda V profile huh! lol

Understandable. I was wondering if anyone has run this combination before. I know that 120 in front has been common, but with a 130 in rear, I haven't seen anyone make mention of that combo. Bike has some squirl ones to it in corners, but I believe that is more so the lack of tread in middle of rear than tire combo. Thanks for the input.
