I changed the rear tyre to 130/70 17 pirelli angel city.

Must say that I really like the comfort of a wider rear tyre.

It looks amazing. Did you also change the front tire and if so what size is it? Optically that's the thing that bothers me the most, those skinny ass tires...

What dimensions do you have on the front? This all fits the stock wheels? Did you swap them yourselve?

EDIT:

I'm searching for new tires and would like to have as wide as possible both front and rear.

Question is what will fit.

  • Front: 80/100/17 = 80 circumference
  • Rear: 130/70/17 = 91 circumference

Don't know if that will become an issue?

Stock is 70/100 & 100/70 so both are 70 circumference.

These are the ones I've narrowed it down to:

  • Continental ContiGo
  • Pirelli Angel CiTy (only 120/70 rear)
  • Micheline Pilot Street (only 80/90 front)
  • Metzler Sportec Street (only 80/90 front)
  • Heidenau K66

you were able to fit 130 width on the rim without an issue?
