Any way of checking if the XR has been jacked up?

So got new Metzeler M7’s fitted and when on centre stand the rear wheel is still dragging on the ground.
So.... Is this normal?
Is it a Metzeler thing?
Has my bike been jacked up on it’s ride height?
Is there some way of visually checking if this isn’t normal?
Thanks for any pointers.

I’d say it’s a Metz thing, just been into the garage bike is standing on a strip of ply so stand and rear wheel are the same and i’ve No chance of getting my finger(any) between tyre and wood and it’s a part worn Mich Power RS.

My M9RR's are similar....seem to have a slightly higher aspect ratio, although the numbers don't say so. Michelins don't seem to be as bad for it....not that it's a bad thing.

Well my mind is at rest, not just me so all good.
The only practical solution is to scrub a couple of mil off by riding it, damn shame
Cheers for the replies

Yesterday I checked my 2020 on the center stand resting on a perfect level floor.
There is a gap of minimum 3 cm between the floor and the almost new Bridgestone.

Not the same bike though, I’m on a gen 1 ‘17 model. Should’ve specified at the start now you mention it.
