tires irc gp-1

[tonyc2me]

I ride only on the road and I was thinking about lacing up an eighteen inch rim for the rear. Would I have to change anything like the shock or links? I am trying to do it the cheapest way possible. I would be running a 120 series 18 rear. Thanks for any help. TC

I'm using the GP-1's front and rear, went to the 3.25X21 for the front, the 5.10 on the rear and so far I like 'em, and the price was right. If your front is still good, keep it. I replaced my rear first and the GP-1 performed fine with the stock front tire. The GP-1's are much better in mud and gravel than the stock tires, they whine a bit on the highway, seem to handle well wet or dry. Most of my riding is paved roads (a 60 mile one-way commute), but the roads around my home are mud, sand, and gravel. I can tell you the IRC's wear faster than the stock tires. Then again, you can almost buy both IRC's for the price of one of the stockers. --- scottbtorell wrote:
