IRC tried something else for their loyal customers : hollow knobs. Those s*cked!! Knobs just got ripped OPEN with a nice lock-up... These tires is, Mythos knobby rear, weren´t even as light as the firs Japanese models, I once had a 460g rear...
FTR, IRC distributor here in Holland replaced the Hollow tires as warranty. |
