IRC tires

[Bailey28]

Anyone else notice that IRC tires have gone up in price to be near the top most expensive tire you can buy?

I used to be able to get the IRC's for cheap, everyone had them, and they were always on sale. Cheapest price I can find now on a VE33 rear 110/100 18 is $68.00 plus shipping. Heck the Dunlop rear 756's are on sale for $54.00.

I did notice that IRC was affected by the earthquake in Japan, but the prices have been high before that.

I always thought of IRC as a "second line" type brand, mabye a little better than Cheng Shin..... They always worked well and stood up, and I always liked the VE35 fronts and/or the IX05H for hardpacked.

I went to get a new rear tire yesterday, my Maxis is almost toast. Anyway, I was at the shop, they had a Geomax 51 for $108.00 The IRC was $88.00 The guy tells me that the IRC was an cheaper brand tire! Could have fooled me!

Man I love the internet!

Expect to see a 10-18% increase in the price of tires this year.

Jeeez, I guess I'll have to make them last. The last tire I bought was from a guy on ebay, new Michelin S12 for $54.

These bike tires are getting more expensive than car tires. I generally wear them down pretty well but I don't take the time to flip them. They go on once and come off once.
