    I had a 130 on the back of mine, it should only have been a 120 (2KR) and 100 on the front. A 120 on the front could cause instability and handling problems. Try sticking to the recommended sizes. otherwise the bike's geometry is compromised.

    Yes a 130 will fit the back if you can't get a 120
