Hi all. I need to get new tyres, and I am just scoping opinion on the correct sizes for my K75.
Its a 1988 K75S with rear and front discs. Haynes says the rear should be 130/90/17, and the front at 100/90/18.
At present, I have fitted a 130/80/17 rear, and a 100/90/18 front; both are Bridgestone BT45.
The speedo reads 5mph slow at present. Has this got anything to do with the small discrepancy in tyre spec? Can I go with a 130/90/17 at the rear? Does it make any difference?
Thanks.
