: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 :)

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.
