I got a 16 wheel is it good to use 140 then 130

does a 140 cause tyre wear faster then a 130

No idea, but I'm always leery when deviating from manufacturer's recommendations, for obvious reasons.

are you running out of tire in turns? Is the wider tire also taller?

In the 16" size... id highly recommend the BT45. Really good tire!
