I'm also annoyed by our CDI, petcock, and other frustrating quality issues.

They aren't necessarily bad tires, they are high mileage tires. High mileage tires are a harder compound so they last longer, my first set I got 11k out of them. Think about who the target is for the 250s though (or was). n00bs. n00bs that aren't going to care what tires are on the bike, n00bs that wouldn't know the difference between the tires. I'm not so sure that the IRC's are a cost cutter because if you look them up they are only slightly cheaper (particularly for a company buying in bulk) than the good rubber
Also, on the 300s the IRC tires are supposed to be a better stickier compound though likely still "high mileage"
Oh also, my cdi and petcock work perfectly
