Every tire on file, each with a short note on what the maker states and how we read it. Pick a bike and the list narrows to the ones matching its front and rear sizes.

The sentence after each note turns our own six-axis rating into words.

IRC

• GP-1 … IRC calls it a “well-balanced all-rounder.” Across the six axes, Pavement・Life sits at 4 and Sand at 1. A tire set up to be good at some things and to give up others. Of the 18 tires in the Trail group, 9 carry 4 for Pavement. 1 front sizes and 3 rear, mostly 18-inch.
• GP-5 … IRC states it plainly: “OE tire on the Honda Cross Cub 110 / CT125.” 80/90-17 front and rear, in both tube (WT) and tubeless (TL) — pick the one that matches your wheel.

Of the 18 tires in the Trail group, 9 carry 4 for Pavement. 5 front sizes and 7 rear, mostly 17-inch.
• GP-22 (17 inch) … IRC positions it above the OE GP-5: “more off-road capability, strong on both paved and unpaved roads.” A single 80/90-17 shared front/rear, aimed at the Cross Cub 110 / CT125. A separate entry from the 21-inch GP-21/GP-22 series. Across the six axes, Mud・Hard-pack・Pavement・Life sits at 3 and Sand・Rocks at 2. The six numbers land close together: an even set-up. Of the 18 tires in the Trail group, 4 carry 3 for Mud. One size, 17-inch.
• GP-210 … IRC puts asphalt first here: “grip and water dispersal built around riding on pavement.” For keeping the dirt-bike look while riding mostly on the road. Across the six axes, Pavement・Life sits at 5 and Sand・Mud・Rocks at 1. A tire set up to be good at some things and to give up others. Of the 18 tires in the Trail group, 4 carry 5 for Pavement. 5 front sizes and 5 rear, mostly 18-inch.
• GP-410 … IRC describes it as a tire for “mainly paved riding, with flat dirt still on the menu.” For riders who are on the road most of the time and hit a forest road now and then. Across the six axes, Pavement sits at 5 and Sand・Mud at 1. A tire set up to be good at some things and to give up others.

Of the 7 tires in the Classic group, 1 carry 4 for Wet. 4 front sizes and 5 rear, mostly 18-inch.
• GS-23 … IRC calls it a “high-rigidity type, a best match for highway cruisers,” and states outright that it is OE on the Rebel 250/500 and the Eliminator (including the SE). The first thing to reach for if you just want the stock tire back. All sizes tubeless. Across the six axes, Life sits at 4 and Sport at 2. Neither extreme nor flat. Of the 24 tires in the Cruiser group, 17 carry 4 for Life. 2 front sizes and 1 rear, mostly 16-inch.
• iX-09W GEKKOTA … IRC states it is a “tire dedicated to hard enduro.” Its case is grip and climbing ability on rock, roots and stream beds — the tire that made “gummy” a category. Not street legal (IRC’s own statement). Across the six axes, Rocks sits at 5 and Pavement at 1. A tire set up to be good at some things and to give up others. Of the 23 tires in the Enduro group, 7 carry 5 for Rocks. 1 front sizes and 2 rear, mostly 16-inch.

Of the 18 tires in the Trail group, 9 carry 4 for Pavement. 2 sizes, mostly 14-inch.
• RX-01 … IRC highlights the “fresh pattern with very wide S-shaped grooves” and the “absolute confidence it gives the rider.” ★ Every size is WT (tube type), so it will not suit a tubeless wheel ★ The limited-run SPEC R is out of the current lineup and is not listed here. Across the six axes, Life sits at 4 and Sport at 2. Neither extreme nor flat. Of the 35 tires in the Standard group, 28 carry 4 for Life. 1 front sizes and 2 rear, mostly 17-inch.
• RX-02 … IRC calls it “a modern road-going bias tire tuned for the quarter-litre class.” Unlike the RX-01 every size is tubeless, and it covers the MT-25 / Z250 sizes (110/70-17, 140/70-17). The six numbers land close together: an even set-up. Of the 35 tires in the Standard group, 27 carry 3 for Dry. 4 front sizes and 7 rear, mostly 17-inch.

Avon

• COBRA CHROME (AV91/AV92) … Avon calls it “the ultimate custom tyre,” for large cruisers and tourers. AV91 front and AV92 rear are separate part numbers. Its real distinction is the ultra-wide sizes — 240/50R16, 330/30R17, 300/35VR18 — which make it one of very few tires that fit the Rocket 3’s rear. Availability in Japan needs checking.

Its official PDF states it is OE on the KTM 690 Enduro R, the Husqvarna 701 Enduro and the Triumph TF 450-E. The big knobs bite hard in dirt and wear accordingly. Unusually for the class it goes down to 21-inch tube sizes (2.50-21 to 3.00-21). From 2026 the second-generation TKC 80² is sold alongside it, so check which one you are buying.

How we rate

The dots (1 to 5) are our own estimates for each tire. Here is what goes into them.

What we work from

We open the manufacturer's own product page and take the stated use, the size range, street legality and the recommended rim widths. On top of that we read the tread pattern and the drift of published reviews. We do not test-ride and we do not measure. Nothing here comes from running these tires back to back, so read the numbers as a read on character, not as performance data.

Road and off-road are two different scales

Road tires are rated on dry, wet, life, warm-up, comfort and sport. Off-road tires are rated on sand, mud, rocks, hard-pack, tarmac and life. Even “life” means a different thing on each side, so numbers cannot be compared across the two. That is why the two worlds are kept behind a switch rather than merged into one list.

Unverified stays unverified

A tire we have not yet checked against its official page is shown as such. Street legality has three states — legal, competition only, and unconfirmed — and we do not move a doubtful one into “legal”. A rim-width match is shown only when both the tire maker's spec table and the bike maker's stated OE rim width are in hand; if either is missing, we show nothing. Not guessing matters more to us than filling the gap.

No overall score

Add the six axes into a single score and the rider crossing sand gets the same answer as the rider commuting. Sorting works axis by axis instead, so which one matters is yours to decide. Picking “the best tire” for you is not our job.

How to read this

• The 1–5 ratings are our own estimates. They are not manufacturer figures and they are not measurements. What a tire feels like changes a great deal with conditions.
• Within one model, character and street legality both change with the size and the spec (WT/TL, street or competition). Confirm with the manufacturer or a dealer before you buy.
• This is a Japanese-market lineup. The tire sizes come from manufacturers' Japanese product pages, and the bikes are the ones sold in Japan — so a model may be absent here yet sold where you are, or the reverse. The sizes themselves are international, so size search works wherever you ride.
• Shop links go to search results rather than product pages, because a direct product link breaks as soon as a size sells out. Other sizes and older models will be mixed in, so check the part number.
• Where the model name is a link, it goes to the manufacturer's official product page. Category, street legality and intended use were confirmed there (the rating numbers stay our own). Tires marked "official page not checked yet" have not had even that done — treat them with more care.
• Quoted phrases are our English rendering of the manufacturer's own copy, most of which is published in Japanese. They are translations, not quotations of an English original. The model-name link is the source.
• In the bike search, "narrower" means one or two steps below the OE size. The "rim width OK" badge means the tire maker's published rim widths line up with the OE rim width from the bike maker. No badge means the combination is unconfirmed, so check the tire's approved rim widths yourself. Combinations we found to be wrong are not shown at all.
• Competition tires may not be used on public roads.
• The road axes (dry, wet, life, warm-up, comfort, sport) and the off-road axes (sand, mud, rocks, hard-pack, pavement, life) are different yardsticks. Numbers cannot be compared across the two.
• In a road size, R or ZR means radial construction; a plain hyphen means bias-ply. Changing construction from what the bike came with changes how it behaves, so talk to a dealer first.
