Hello, I am in a dilemma choosing a rear tire. Currently I have a DUNLOP TRAILMAX J 120/90. I am considering fitting a 130/80 tire. This will lower about 10mm the bike and it will also shorten a bit the gearing both of them I would welcome. But what disadvantages will I have? Will the turning in twisty mountain roads become more difficult? Will the lower profile 130/80 tire be harder on the rear shock as less absorbing? Will the petrol consumption increase? What size rear tire do you prefer for 80% asphalt 20% dirt riding?

You are over-thinking this. The only real issue is, will the 130 rub on the muffler at full compression? If so, you can cure it by bending the muffler mounting tabs slightly. Your bike may turn in a bit slower with the wider tire, but you will stop noticing in short order. Ditto the lower height and overall ratio - you will not notice the difference. Your tire's diameter will change by more than 10mm over its useful life. The shock will not notice the difference. The fuel consumption will not change unless you change how you ride. I like a 130 D606 for 80/20 asphalt/gravel. The 606 is more than good enough on pavement; I want to be sure my tires behave on loose surfaces.
