A 130 bulges over the rim like a fat guy's belly wearing too tight pants. :lol:

It will create bad handling characteristics, wear out faster and actually have less rubber on the road
Use the size recommended for your bike

I guess I should have read the OP more closely. I have a KZ750LTD not 550 like the OP. Totally missed that part LOL
