:plus: BT92s.

Very good tyre in all conditions. Not even un-predicable on a trackday, they dont enjoy that but the multicompound goodness make them very useful still :D

92 lasts much longer than 090 and are are great all rounder.

Obviously if your a track freak you'd be asking whats the best and i'd reccomend 090's so you can get every last drop from the bike.

But you shuold be fine with the 92's :)

am thinking about 090s but having a spare rear wheel with an 092 on for longer trips...

I'm not sold on the 090 front and 092 rear. Never used this combo but the profiles are so different!?

Dunlop GPR100's are the equivalent of 092's and a better tyre IMO (better profile). Long lasting and good-very good grip depending on temp/conditions etc.

I personally don't see the point in buying tyres for good mileage. When a sticky set (alpha 10 or 090) saves your life just once when a lesser tyre may not have you won't go back. ;)

Haha.. riding hard for the road are we cammo? :)

My riding style is a bit odd :P I think I push the front too hard as I always loose the front more than the back.. indeed I can have nothing left on the front (all the way to the sidewall) and still have a few mm on the rear.
