I’m just really wanting the Michelin road 5 due to the longevity and the overall performance it offers in dry and wet, but the rear only comes in a 140 and I’m wondering is it best to up size both tyres or just rear

So would you rekon it would be okay to do the 140? would it be better to do a 120 and a 140 instead of 110 140

Hi guys I’m new to the forum so I’m kind still trying to work out if I’m at the correct place to post this so apologies if I’m not. I’m looking to be getting new tyres for my bike, I’m keen to get the Michelin road 5. my bikes wheels are 110/70/17 front & 130/70/17 rear. My problem is that the rear on the road 5 is only 140/70/17, would this be okay to put on if the original is 130? I know it’s not exactly the correct tyre but would there be a massive risk with putting the 140 in the rear, like safety etc will it actually be a massive difference or will it just be a case of getting used to a diffract response of the bike? if it truly is a big NO NO m, what tyres would you guys recommend instead? I live in Scotland and use my bike as a commuter and leisure, it’s also a zontes zt125cc U1 i don’t have a budget on tyres just really looking for the best quality. thanks in advance guys
