if you use your bike a lot you need " road touring" tyres, they had slightly harder compound that last longer than the Road racing tyres like BT090/GPR70's.
BT092 and GPR80s (i think) are touring rubber. i use my bike every day and i have BT092s all round.

These are both good all round tyres, the gpr80 has been replaced with the gpr100.

The gpr70 was a ripping tyre, if Alpha 10's have improved on these in any way then I'll be very happy.
