My bike has IRC tires, which were new when I bought it. So, roughly 1500 miles on them. First of all, do you recommend that I change them out, with the incumbent hassle? Is there that much difference?Secondly, if I don't, is there a way to preserve the spare tires for when I wear out the IRCs?

Look at from an economic prospective. Those IRC's are new and good for 5-10k miles (search and confirm) How many years can you put them on the shelf? OK, other side of the coin. Parts bike tires are of unknown age and have x miles on them. How long are they going to last on the shelf? If you can just swap tires and rims between the bikes, I'd go with the unknowns and use them up 1st. That's if you're going to keep both bikes. Even if you're going to sell them, nobody going to give you much for used tires, use'em up.

There is nothing wrong with the IRC tires that come on the s40 they don't follow the grooves in the road when they wear down to about 1/4 life left they will follow the grooves thats when its time to change. I just got new tires for my Suzuki Vl 1500 .after reading all the reviews I could fine I went with the Pirelli MT 66 Route tires good reports and also a light weight tire which will mean less unsprung weight so it should ride better.
