130/80 is too big for a TTR, 120/90 will fit but even that is a bit big

Agree the narrower tire is the way to go I've found 110 to be good all round . 

Matches the bike set up . Off road the wider tires tends to try and climb out of ruts  also your weight is spread over a bigger area which can reduce your tires ability to grip as well .

In answer to the question: Yes, it will fit.
I also agree with ttboof and Terryk that a 130 knobbly is too wide. However, the Anakee is not a full on knobbly tyre and the measurements can vary from tyre type to type - I use Maxxis IT enduro tyres and 110 is the biggest that will go in the gap! Go figure!
