IRC GS-11 AW Tires

[travgusmc]

Brand new set came on my CB360T. Theyre about 100 bucks a set and are supposed to be decent in wet conditions. Anyone have personal experience/thoughts with/about this set? They've seemed fine on my 70 dry miles since picked the bike up a week ago. They also look pretty good and Ive got no complaints thusfar. What are the comparable or better tires in this price range? Just thinking ahead in my build, leaning towards a more all weather tire rather than the standard avons everyone has haha

Those GS11AW's are a good oem style tire,I've ridden many 'commuter' miles on them.

you know that IRC stands for Inferior Rubber Company........

i used to work for the local importer, we also brought in dunlop tyres and the IRC's were definetely held in lower esteem than the dunlops
though the story was supposed to be that we only got the import deal on the IRC's so no-one else could and if we did sod all to promote them then we'd get more market share for the dunlops - wasn't the only brand we did it with either, various helmet/clothing brands were acquired and run into the ground to promote sales of our other preferred brands

There is a reason the Avons are "Standard" among "riders" 8) Dunlop K591 is a great tire for heavier bikes not sure about light weights ? guys. Metzler ME77's or ME88's are a great tire the 77 is a retro tread. just don't buy the coker flintstnes unless it's a garage queen with a beer tap.
