Why do the tire sizes differ between Canadian and other markets? Been looking at finding a partner fir the Metzeler Marathon 100/90 19 57H front that came with my extra 78 1000. Currently there is a 120/90 18 on the rear which is correct according to the Canadian specs. but of course different from the 'other' mainly US markets showing a 17. I see alot of people are running 130's on the back so I can't see any reason not to go with one of those.
