So my mechanic picked my bike up to install the new Metzeler 888 WWW I got and later called back and said the rear they sent was a 130/19 not the 140/19 I ordered. My mechanic picked them up before I was able to unwrap and confirm the size I just went off the packing list  >:( My question is will this make a difference in ride ability, longevity of the tire, support the weight, etc and if so in what ways? Not sure if this matters at all but I ride solo.   My mechanic said it will be .25in lower but did not want to comment on ride ability. I ordered through J&P cycles and after some back and forth they are going to pay for the return if needed but can already see it is going to be a hassle. Thanks in advance.

I say send it back and get what you ordered. You ordered a certain size for a reason. Let them make good for it. My 2 cents.
