We've seen some who thot the OEM tires were just fine, & others, myself included, disliked them a lot. Mine felt insecure regardless of age or pressure, always felt like it was gonna slide rite out frummunda me, & so, with your tires, there may be some variation in "stiction" , so,
season to taste.
My used '07 came with the original IRC up front and a Dunlop 404 on the rear. Don't know the lineage of the latter, but I'll certainly 2nd JOG2 here. Recently replaced the IRC with a Kenda Kruz. Gone is the feeling the front end'll wash out at the least provocation, gone is its enthusiasm for following every tar snake encountered. It feels more planted in all conditions, even feels better in the wind.
