yes, it is wider by a few mm

 

90 percent of 110 is certainly more than 90 percent of100, so yes it is taller(and it really is)

 

well hell! looks like my fender mod was good for nothing! ooh well... i am not sure what ones will last longer... if the pirelli's will last as long or longer than the Metzlers i will rock those, so i can keep the 180, i have already redone everything under my rear fender to fit that sucker would be a shame to not keep it... anyone know on this issue?

 

the Metzlers have the reputation of a well wearing, long lasting tire.......not sure about the Pirellis - sorry

 

if you are going to run the 120 front you will need to go with a wider than stock wheel, the v-rod wheel works 4 this also you will need to run the metzler 170 rear,as far as i know the 120 frt only comes in a radial so you need the metzler 170 rear radial

 

m glad someone brought up the mixing tire brands issue (if there is an issue). I didnt wanna ask for fear of feeling like a dumb-***.

When I changed to the 21 front I went with the Dunlop because there was a 200 available. However, I found that the 200 wasnt gonna work due to clearance issues I didnt wanna deal with.

Thinking about the Pirelli 180, but wasnt sure about the mixing Pirellis and the Dunlop.

 

you need to check rim size for the pirelli 180, best i know the dunlop 180 is the only that will fit stock rim, iam running the metzler 170 rad me880 rear duce wheel and metz 100 90 19 bias on frt stock wheel

 

so here is what i did... i got Metzerl, 170 rear and the 120 v rod front tire. I talked to several guys that run the 120 on the stock st bob rim so I am going to give it a try... we also have a 110/90/19 in stock so if the 120/70/19 does not fit i can pull it right off and go with the 110, the size is not so much the reason, my worry is the side wall... i slammed my fender so low i do not want to have to re do it... so we will see some time next week when i slap on the new rubber. I have to pull my wheels apart to add the platnum powder to the spokes, so it will take me a few days..

 

I am buying a vrod front wheel for the front of my fat bob but don't like the stock low profile of120/70/19. Think ill have a problem finding a 120/90/19 or with it fitting?
