Hello, and Happy New Year all! I'm looking to replace my front tire. Is 130/70/18 the largest size that doesn't require fender mods?


Just an old Hippie and I don"t know what to do.

Different tire brands vary in size even with the same numbers. Be aware. If there are any fitment issues with a 130/70/18 sized tire, it will be with the fender bracket, itself. The fix is in he vault, seek and ye shall find.
