I think you might be pushing
I used to run IRC tires on my R69S and ran into a bad set of tires. I've since gone with Metzeler Block C tires. That's my choice going forward.
What's the thoughts with doing this? Are you trying to get more use out of the barely used front tire? BTW...what's the date stamp on the tires? Hope you're not pushing the age of the rubber.
You've got Vech just up the road...does he have any input??

Fast. Neat. Average. Friendly. Good. Good.

The only time my R27 goes
I did twice have it over 70 on the interstate. Both times resulted in generator failure so I now keep it below 65.
I have the 3.25 Heidenau K34 tires and they seem to work great.
