IRC GS-23: sizes and matching bikes
Type: Cruiser ／ Street legal
About this tire
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.

OE sizes can differ by model year and market — the sidewall of your own bike is the sure reference. This is a Japanese-market lineup; the sizes themselves are international.

Where to buy
How to read this
- The 1–5 ratings are our own estimates. Not manufacturer figures, not measurements.
- Within one model, character and street legality both change with the size and the spec. Confirm with the manufacturer or a dealer before you buy.
- Shop links go to search results rather than product pages. Other sizes and older models will be mixed in.
- “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; no badge means unconfirmed.
- Competition tires may not be used on public roads.
