IRC RBCC traction problem - tubeless alternatives?
Just wanted to share, installed tubeless IRC RBCC 25mm tires about 2000 miles ago and started noticing that the rear is losing traction under braking/turning much more easily than the Michelin Enduro 23mm it replaced.
Had a REALLY close call a couple of weeks ago in a tight turn at less than 30m/h. I am running around 85psi front/90 rear.
My wife is running the same tires and she has also noticed that.
So my question is - are there any better tubeless alternatives?
Thanks!

Yeah, Schwalbe Pro One are a great alternative (in whatever size; the tread compound is the same), and I recently switched from IRC Formula Pro RBCC (due to a rash of cuts this Spring) to Hutchinson Fusion 5 Galactik 11Storm compound, but haven't ridden them enough to give feedback yet.

I think most tires after 2000 miles are going to start losing some their effectiveness, if they even get to that milestone.
