OK to run a wider rear tire?
I've been browsing tires and am leaning towards the shinko's for my general riding 79'. Not only are they less expensive but seem to have much better reviews than the Metzeler lasertec Bias Sport Touring which are double the price! figure that one? anyways, mine is 120/90/17 but can only find the rear in 130/90/17, is that like almost identical, is it ok to go with? TIA!
