    Just an FYI Replaced the OEM tires for Mitas eo7
    What a beast to spoon on I got rear on end up pinching the front tube so I took it to a shot..just got too frustrated.
    Problem after the mitas is a lot wider than the OEM it rubs the exhaust/muffler. What pain!!
    I did research before I bough an no where did I find anything about these tires being wider, I thought a 130/80-17 should all be the same. I measured with vernier and it’s 3/8 wider at the thread.

    mitas tires are measured at the carcass not the tread so you can go down a size
