jeb Member Jul 21, 1999 633 0 Dec 27, 2001 #3 At least the 130. The 120 has smaller knobs and they wear out quickly. I like the 140's, too. Those are about the same as a 120 in say Dunlop.

D drz mick Member Jun 2, 2001 112 0 Dec 27, 2001 #4 Correct Michelin tyre sizing as taught by my dealer: Michelin tyre wall size: 130/80-18 Take 20 off the 130 and give it to the 80........hence....... 130/80-18 is actually a 110/100-18 in everyone else's money! 140/80-18 = 120/100-18 Easy huh !
