If it isn't broke, I haven't messed with it.

I run a IRC 120/90, I think it actually handles better, its a smoother ride, not as noisy as the Bridgestone or the Metzler, and doesn't track in the grooves in the road like the skinnier tire does.

You will have to trim the middle of the fender mounting bracket out, or it will rub.
