If you have a WM-3 rim(2.15) then the 120 will work. The 130 will fit, but not work as well. The 110 is probably closer to the original size and will also work. I suspect the 120 will look and work as well or better.

ps the only tires i could get for my mercurio 175 were chen shins and i've been quite satisfied because i can ride the bike instead of looking at it in my basement with bare rims. they are good enough that i out ran a couple of gsxr types down a (familiar) twisty road in my neck of the woods a couple of years back. when they finally caught me all they could do is shake their heads as they went by. i felt kind of stupid for riding like that on the street afterwards though.
