Ended up going with the S20, I'll post up my thoughts after I've put a few miles on it.

I rather like my S20's. Good enough to take 3rd in my first two races ever.Vincent wrote:Ended up going with the S20, I'll post up my thoughts after I've put a few miles on it.

Re: The NC30 & 35 tyre thread
So, has the BT92 been wiped off the face of the earth by Bridgestone then? In 18" of course. Only tyre listed on various tyre websites (UK/Europe) is the BT090. In fact, only a 17" BT92 is listed on Bridgestone's own website. I don't think I was ever going to have a BT92 again, I've stuck with the BT090, but it was nice to have the choice. Is it a sign the 90 will be discontinued too? Time for sleepless nights, time to stock up on 90's? Time to convert to 17"? Arrrgh noooooo. (just spent money on linkages and shock for the stock 18" too, plus it's painted GOLD now :D)
But then maybe I'm missing something, plus the 90 is probably the more popular tyre anyway and they'll sell them for years to come, right guys? ey? ...Ah good, that's soothing.

Are you running 17 inch rear? 150 or 160?
I may try these on my NC 29 next time out
