Do you store it in a garage with a cement floor? I understand that the cement can draw the moisture from the rubber. I keep mine on the center stand with a thin piece of plywood underneath the front tire.

I have used IRC tires on the rear of my 80 for the last 6-7 years. I bought 4 of them in a package deal. Apart from one slow leak I never had a problem with them. I also put the bike on the center stand with plywood under the tires when storing for the LONG WINTERS we have here on the rock.

I can usually get between 9-12000km out of them which is all I get out of Dunlops or bridgestone.

You must have hit on a bad batch.
