IRC Tyres – From bicycles to motorbikes

The first bicycle tyres and inner tubes were manufactured by the Inoue Rubber Company (IRC) in 1926 in Nagoya, Japan. Initially, the company supplied only the domestic market; it was not until 1934 that IRC entered the export business. After the Second World War, motorisation advanced worldwide and IRC began producing tyres for motorcycles. In 1959, IRC expanded to Sri Lanka and has been represented by an office in New York, USA, since 1966.
Over the following years, further production facilities were established in Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam. In 1981, IRC entered the mountain bike tyre market. IRC made a name for itself in the scene as one of the first manufacturers to bring winter tyres for scooters to the market.
Around 2009, IRC’s winter tyres experienced a real boom in Germany and also sold exceptionally well at SIP Scootershop.
»IRC's winter tyre is truly unique thanks to its true siped tread pattern.«

The Urban Snow "Evo" winter tyre continues to enjoy great popularity and can almost be described as a classic. With this robust tyre, the experience of the Japanese pays off, because they started very early to address the topic of "winter and scooters" in product development. Their role as early adopters should pay off especially with this tyre.
