The first number is the tire width, the second is the aspect ratio,
meaning that in this case it is 100% of the 110 mm width in height.
If you multiply the 120 by the 90% amd come out with about the same
height it would be a go, assuming the bike can handle the width. The
real proof is in the puttin'.
