IRC tires

Dude wants $75 for the IRC 920. She's talked to several PC owners that refer to the 555's as "Dancin' Dunlops", due to their tendency to follow tar snakes & grooves.

Avon's are OOS for just about everybody.

I remember IRC tyres from the '70's, and I guess they've been around longer than that. I've used their offroad tyres often, and they work very well. They make one of the best competition trials tyres around.

Totally not germane to this woman's Pacific Coast, but:
I don't know about most of the Shinko offerings, but they are The Heat for dragracing.


Yeah, I have some friends that have built some serious TurboBusa's for ProStreet Motorcycle dragracing. They often use a Shinko Drag Radial. But that's about the only area where Shinko excels at this point in time. Of course they will likely keep improving in other areas in time.

I'm using Shinko 110's front and rear at the moment - much better than the Bridgestone Spitfires I had previously.

I run a "rear" tire up front on two of my bikes(V-Twin 1500cc cruiser and a '04 GoldWing) get more miles out of them for the same money. The rear tire has more tread, so thats why you get more miles out of them.
I like the Bridgestone Battlax BT-45 have around 85k miles(total) on that tire

Update: the IRC was good. Afrer ~2200 miles, she reports it was a bit more stable at highway speeds than the Metzler it replaced.

WoW 2200 miles in less than a month, she's a true motorcyclist. Have fun
