    So the OEM tire is 130/80-18. Does anyone put a wider tire on with a circumference difference that's less than an inch. Or is it a bad idea to change tire size. The front is 120/80-16.
    What's your take for tire brand on a commuter bike. Not currently on the road.

    You're prob stuck with the 130/80-18.

    140/70 is not right, gets pinched in too much on that 3.00 inch rim. And there's not really any good options in a 140/80-18 in a quick search.
