Default Front tire question for the experts
I recently purchased new tires online for my 2005 C50. Rear size matches the owners manual specs. perfectly. The problem I am having with the front is the owners manual calls for "130/90-16 M/C 67H" and the tire (a Metzeler ME880 Marathon) has "130/90-16 M/C 73H" on the sidewall. What is the last set of number/letter stand for? Speed Rating (not my best guess)? I
s this tire ok to have mounted as I plan on dropping it off to the dealer next week? Has anyone mounted these tires to their C50? Thanks for any and all replies and happy riding season for us Upstate New Yorkers !!!
