The IRC Roadlite Tubeless Road Tyre is specifically developed for training and endurance riding although that is what IRC think. Really it is a racing tyre that can do everything. A great tyre for training and endurance but a true do it all tyreLowest rolling resistance in the IRC rangeFantastic durability & a smooth rideHigh abrasion and wear resistanceGreat grip on offer in both wet and dry conditionsIn fact, out of IRC range this tyre has the lowest rolling resistance (making as fast as the Schwalbe one a bit behind the pro one but since it more durable you have your trade off). IRC uses a high abrasion resistant rubber compound for the tread to increase durability and give low rolling resistance. Additionally, while the casing may only be 120tpi the ride is very smooth.The tyre is coated with a layer of butyl rubber to reduce air loss to a very slow rate indeed. This also means the tyre can be repaired with a glue patch. The tyre is very wear resistant. Grip is good in both wet and the dry. the This tyre does not have the cut resistance of the formula pro tyres, but neither is it puncture prone. This is the trade-off over the IRC formula pro tyres.
