Kathy,
I haven't had to change my tires yet, but when I do I might go for the Dunlop Cruisemax. But the back tire will have to be a 140/90-15 instead of a 148/80-15. According to others on this forum, no problem with this switch. The also come with raised white letters.....which can be kool. (Maybe,maybe not.) I have certainly enjoyed the ride with the OEM IRC-GS18's so it can be a tough choice.
I emailed IRC about good quality tubes for their tires and here's what the guy mailed back"
Inner Tube Size American Honda's Part#
100/90-19, 3.25/4.10-19 08400-19-325
140/80-15, 130/90-15 08400-15-510
He said these are excellent tubes for the GS18 tires. I don't know about the 140/90 sized Dunlop rear tire, maybe this tube would work for that also.
Check out Dennis Kirk catalog etc. for pictures and sizes of bike tires. Lots of 'em out there.
Good hunting !!
