Tyres help

[Classickid21]

Hi my Er 5 is due a Tyre for the MOT

i have a spare but its a 100-80-17 52H

but i think stand with out looking it should be 110 70 17

What's does the 80 mean and 52 mean i know H is speed (100-130)

My Standard one is 1.3mm in the center will i get it through a mot ?

Will it fit the rim ?

110 is the width the 80 is the aspect ratio of the width and it equals the hight of the side wall

ie the sidewall hight is 80% of the width (110)

Got your pm. Sent one your way, but short answer is yes it will likely fit if it clears your mud guard. But it will change handling and speedo accuracy.

It should get through but you might get an advisory, As for fitting an alternative size tyre just be sure the tyre is within the spec of the bike and rim, also make sure it will match up with the front tyre.
