The gpz i have has a stock rear tyre size of 120/90 16. I have run 130/90 16 without issues and have now found some 130/70 16 tyres half the price of the 130/90's..

Can i run these without issue?

It is the same tyre so probably yes. According to the tyre calculator you will have 17mm lower tyre compared to 120 that may affect the bike handling.
