I took my 2012 YBR125 for an MOT and the rear tyre needed changing. When I got it back I noticed that the rear tyre was 100/90 rather than 90/90. I always found the old tyres to be too narrow and these new ones are good Michelin ones. I was just wondering if this is good or if I should get it changed back to a smaller one. The front tyre is the same and didn't need changing.
Thanks

If they put a tube in it I'd be concerned
If they fitted a tubeless one and it doesn't foul anywhere,doesn't lose pressure and rides well I'd leave it be.

It isn't going to make any noticeable difference.

As has been said, as long as it's a tubeless one it'll be fine. Chances are you'll never notice any difference in use.

Since when do YBR's have tubeless rims? Rolling Eyes

But as long as it's not rubbing on anything I wouldn't give a shit.

I don't think my 2013 one had tubes
