Re: reccomended rubber?
Supercorsa'a if you have the money, BT90's and Dunlop Alpha 10's are also very good although dont last long. BT92's are a good all round tyre, if your doing a lot of milage then stick with the 92's. maybe run a 90 up front for a little more grip.

Re: reccomended rubber?
I can't really add any more to what is said above, although if it's an NC30 you have and an 18' rear wheel Super-Corsa'a won't be an option. Howere if it's an RVF you have and a 17' rear, maybe look at Diablo Corsa III's too.

Re: reccomended rubber?
tis a nc30 with the standard 18" on the back.
have run bt090's on my little rs 125- were pretty good.
want to get a good few miles out of these what with the recession and all lol, so i think i may stick with the 92's
cheers guys! much appreciated..

Re: reccomended rubber?
I'd recommend a 92 rear and a 90 front then.

Re: reccomended rubber?
personally, i think the alpha 10 is a better option that the bt090, but you do wear it out after only a few thousand miles

Re: reccomended rubber?
well i do about 100 odd miles per week- mostly through London, but i do go for the occasional blast.
since the 92's seem to be an all round good tire, ill probably stick with those...
Thanks everyone!

great grip,but i was in the same boat.........
im now runnig bt014's and am very happy with them.grip is very good,confident in the wet and i definately got more mileage than the alpha 10.
