I still have the stock IRC, with nearly 12000 miles. It has a good bit of cupping, and is just starting to show some cracking in the bottom of the tread grooves. I expect to replace it next Spring, if I don't get lucky and sell the bike before then.

On the other end, each of the stock IRC rear tires lasted about 5500 miles. I put a Metzler ME880 on the rear almost a thousand miles ago, so have no idea how long it might last.

I'm still rocking the original IRC front tire on mine (see signature block) - 12,500 miles.

It's about down to the wear bars, though, will change when I next change out the front brake pads (which are getting thin).

I got 8700 miles out of the original IRC rear tire before it hit the wear bars. My Savage rarely ever leaves town, in case you're wondering.....

Digger, those are not wear bars. They're spoke tips. Grin

Funny thing is, there is no cracking to speak of on the tire....and the tire spent the first five years of its life in nasty-air Houston, TX!

Can't quite figure that one out.....
