this tire has been on my 2008 cbr125r for 3 months, about 5000 km it's an irc. it is the same type as the orignal. the date code on the tire is less the 2 years. should i be riding on this?

No.

Replace it and return it to where you bought it. Should be covered under warranty.

 

[johnscruiser]

I wouldn't and I for sure wouldn't use the same type as the original!

 

[FLSTC]

I would change it immediately. I'd seek mfr warranty coverage. They may ask about tire pressures...

What brand tire is that?

What brand tire is that?

IRC - in the original thread. It's the stock tires for that bike.

OP - definitely do not ride that bike with that tire on it.

An excellent example of why it's important to inspect your machine before heading out.

That is unbelievable for a fairly new tire.

IRC is the brand of the tires. If that doesn't answer your question, ask it differently.

There IRC NR73S same as originals the original was slightly cracked, but that was a 7 year old original tire. the rear original was ok.. the replacement for the rear wore unevenly.

replaced rear with a perelli MT 75 110, orignal was 100. ordered a mt75 for front, waiting for it to get here

the IRC tires that were bad were ordered off ebay the date stamp was less then 2 years.

Oh so you bought it off ebay... Sucks because it comes with no warranty i suppose

Sure it did....IRC is the brand of the tire.

My apologies. I didn't even know IRC is a tire brand

What pressure is that filled to and where did you get that value? If you over inflate a tire enough it will crack like this pretty quickly.

Probably still safe to ride on but I'd get it replaced ASAP.

A lot of Asian factories sell manufactured QC rejects on eBay. I would not trust any date stamp on that stuff.

IRC = the Inoui Rubber Company.
Cheap, crappy tires...

I've had a few years old Pirelli crack....

I've had a few years old Pirelli crack....

The Perellis that were on my current bike were badly cracked at 4 years old. Passed safety that way which was annoying to me as I wanted the PO to replace them but instead I got stuck doing it.

How does a cracked tire pass Safety????
