Need to shell out for some new tyres. Always had Bridgestone Battleaxes and found them to be good.
Any others recommended for around 1000 dry fast miles a year along with the very occasional track day? Looking to get at least a year or two out of the rear...

NC30 or 35?
If you have a 35 i'd recommend Conti Road Attaks.. 120/60/17 160/60/17

The bt090's are great but ive previously had & have just got another set of bt014's - they are amazing tyres in my opinion, massive grip in the dry & offer huge lean angles!
i also have bt92's & use them when it starts to get cold as they have a dual compound rear, they last a long time & offer good grip levels.
my 1st choice will always be the bt014's.

Didnt know 092's were dual compund as they have been around for a long time and dual compund tyres became popular less than 5 years ago.

I've just got a set of dunlop alpha-10's to try, only because they won't be around much longer (discontinued apparently).
I used to love the gpr-70 that they replaced so had to give these a crack.
I've always been happy with 090's though.

Sorry to jack the Thread, what model number would i be looking for, i require a dual compound rear tyre for my NC30 (18")
If the guys in my local garage spoke English it would be alot easier, but they don't so i'll have to write model numbers down for them :D
Again sorry to jack the thread, just a quick question :)
Thanks guys, Karl Thailand :)

Bridgestone BT092.
Personally I think it's a sin to not fit the stickiest rubber you can to an NC.
