Default Will a Bridgestone BT0030 130/70/18 fit 12 Road Glide

My 12 FLTRX has a 130/70/18 front tire. I ordered the same size tire from eBay. It's a Bridgestone BT0030. As long as the size is the same, shouldn't it fit? The reason for asking is I saw on different websites after the fact that it was for Gold Wings, then another said a Yamaha, & another said for large touring bikes. I thought as long as the size was the same, it should work? Please someone tell me the truth.

I don't see any BT-0030 tyres on the Bridgestone website, it's a G701. Looks as if it may well be suitable. When changing tyre brand it really is wise to look at the manufacturer's website first! Having said that theirs isn't very helpful for non-OEM bikes.
