For 10 years ive had Irc but guess times up. On a further note why can I buy loads of different rubbered crosser tyres at 40 quid yet X11 a 30year old tyre n tred cost £80

What about the Vee Rubber tyres, the seem quite cheap?

I’ve used the MX ones with good results (never tried the trials)

If you want to save money in the long run buy a compressor or spare rear wheel. Then manage your good, part worn and well worn tyres to suit what you, the weather and venue are doing.

Had 1 new IRc and 1 new Xlite this year and still both in ok condition and have ridden 3 S3s, 10 Normandales, 2 Welsh champs numerous centre hard, evening and esay trials and a fair few practice sessions.

I was going to buy a set for my BSA, are they that bad?

There is a reason they are cheap...

They are also tubeless, so if you are fitting to tubed rims you need to be sure they will seat ok. Some rims won't seat a tubeless tyre, they pop out ok when fitting with high pressure but as soon as it's let down to about 10psi a section drops off the rim. Akront (as fitted to Ossa Bultaco Fantic etc) seem ok. Japanese rims are inconsistent, some ok, some not. No idea about other types.
