Is it safe to install a different size rear tire? It seems the 130/80-17 tires are much more common around here. What say you?

As previous poster has said, as long as there is clearance for the swinging arm it will be ok

The difference is only 1cm on the width (5mm each side of tyre) and on the sidewall. It will also make it 'very' slightly lower, but you probably won't notice
