Hi all,

I have a problem related to tyre . I ordered 130 90 16 WW tires from Continental. My motorcycle is Harley Heritage Classic(FLSTC). But as a mistake I ordered 130/90 - 16 M/C 73H TL Milestone CM 2 WW for 2 . But these are for rear. For front I should order 130/90 - 16 M/C 67H TL Milestone CM 1 WW. Does it create a problem if I use one for front? the only difference I see is between 73H and 67H code .I need your comment.

Thanks,

I... would not. From what I know most tires have a direction of rotation which is a result of the overlap of the belts when they are applied. Then the rubber is put on top and a tread is lay in the rubber. The tread on the front (used primarily for stopping) is often different from the tread on the rear (used primarily for moving). Basically they're designed to accomplish different functions, and while they may work anyways, it will not work as well as it could.
