I never ride on ice or when it has been below freezing at any point but it rains and or snows 170 days a year in Syracuse so I ride in the rain quite often and I'm pleased to report that the stock IRC tires on the CBR250R (and Ninja) are excellent in the rain as I have never felt them slip. Even while exploring the limits of wet braking by intentionally mashing the lever when experimenting close to home in the rain. It is also surprising how much clear visibility remains when you lay on the tank and peek through the magic dry spot that materializes just above the wind screen while riding at highway speed. The only thing that really gets wet are my toes.
