Yup,.. the stock IRC's don't last half as long as Dunlop's.. Mine were toast after 3 to 5k,. can't remember exactly...
My Dunlop's were like 12 to 16k...
I have Shinko 712 rear and Kenda Kruz front now...
Love fresh meat... don't you?...
...
I had my local tire shop install my Shinko from online,.. they were happy for the business.. (I did give them the chance to beat the price first.. and I did buy my tube from them)... It pays to buy the tube from the installer. That way if they bugger it up, they will have to replace it...
