2LZ, that tire is 2 sizes larger than stock.

When I checked the Shinko website, that 150/70 tire has a diameter of 25.28 inches.

The 130/80 tire that I mounted has a diameter of 25.20".

I'm getting used to the bike sitting higher, just worried that when I install the already purchased 19" wheel and tire, the front will be raised another 1/2".

When I wear out the 705, I will likely go back to the stock CST tire.
