Review Summary:
These tires are not inexpensive, but far superior to the IRCs that came stock. Traction, cornering, and wet-handling are all outstanding. Stock tires often hopped when I hit a bump, drifted or followed ruts or bumps in the road, and frequently broke loose. Do not have those problems with these tires, track much straighter, and handle rough road, rutted or grooved pavement with no difficulty. I have about 10,000 miles on them currently with a lot of tread left. Only brand other than stocks I have ridden on, so can't offer comparison to other brands. I run 40/42 psi per Metzler recommended, higher than Suzuki stock.
