As others have noted, the 3 year old IRC probably isn't that great at this point. It was probably "adequate" when brand new, but surely hasn't improved over time.

A significant mis-match between the superior traction of the front Diablo Rosso and the inferior traction of the rear Roadwinner isn't going to help the situation either.

It doesn't take much oil or coolant on the road to make a slick spot when it's wet, and you aren't going to see anything.

If the Rosso is getting old or worn, it may be a good time to spring for a new set of fresh sport tires. A lot cheaper than replacing bodywork and gear.

Do some research on the best tire for your type of riding. There are plenty of good options out there, but know that some of the close-out tires may be older than you would like - so be careful of a great deal.
