Confirmed (with new inexpensive Acutire gauge) that the IRC's on 180 rims were shipped with 15 PSI, thus the "comfort" (as in forgiving shock absorber affect) is from the tires. Am feeling solid maneuvering environments I knew I was pushing the limits of adhesion prior.

Have not tried them out in a store yet but they seem to squeak more on my smooth fake wood floor more than original bald ones. (during turns) I may need to hang onto to the old ones on 167 rims for a bit till I am sure how they are indoors.

One other "con" is they do leave some black on clean pavement doing a short circle turn. May be dirt, not sure yet.

Would welcome others comments who have tried out the IRC's.

Jim
