I have just bought new tires for my 78’ Gl1000 (Bridgestone Spitfires). J I was going to bring the rims to the shop to have them installed. Anyway… I getting ready to take them off when I noticed the old rear tire, if I am reading it correctly, the size is 90 – 76 – 17 (MT90 B17 76 HR). I looked up rear tire size on the web and the size I ordered was 130 – 90 – 17. Will this new tire fit the bike, or did the PO just use a tire he could find laying around? Currently the bike slides a little in turns so I thinking new matching tires would rectify the issue. (right now I have two different brands) The old front tire is the correct is same size I ordered so I have no worries about that (100-90-19). Thanks Lou
