Try FWR tyres £174 for the alpha's
Their both good tyre's, dunlops maybe a bit more sticky than the bridgestones, neither last that long.

I use the BT090s and like them, never used the Dunlops though. Wouldn't mind trying them.

Defiantly worth giving Graeme France a call 07778628448 before you order anything he's always got good deals on tyres

I havent tried either of those tyres unfortunately, but I have however, been able to compare a few different Dunlop tyres to a few different bridgestone tyres and every single time I prefer to use the bridgestones. To me the bridgestones seem a little softer and easier to manage and you get a good feeling out of them compared to the Dunlops ive tried that have always seemed too hard and slippy.
Thats all i can say on the matter really Im afraid. LOL

We do both sets for £170 delivered next day UK mainland - bit extra for Scottish highlands and the IOW.
Paypal is fine as per signature email if that helps.

We sell hundreds of tyres a year - just about everything - even have some nice discounted new 600 size Pirelli Diablos due end of Feb - SC2 rear - SC1 front.
Bit scary to remember when we started - we were selling NC30 BT090s at £135 a pair delivered and still making a smallish profit.
We buy enough to get free Pirelli WSB complimentary tickets every year at one round !
Last season we auctioned them off in aid of DF's BSB effort.
