Re: 18" tyre choice
So the BT090 IS the only decent choice left for 18" rears then. Ive found a website showing the dunlops alpha 10's just awaiting on a email reply to see if they actually have any in stock.

Yeah I really like the Dunlop Alphas even the old gpr70's were lovely, can't get hold of them anymore.

Re: 18" tyre choice
I run 090's and pro tyre quoted £257 fitted to loose wheels and a place here in Bristol called Cabot Tyres quoted me £204 fitted to loose wheels!! It was also the same price for BT92's so if anyone's interested I think this is an awsome price just waiting for payday!!

Re: 18" tyre choice

Re: 18" tyre choice
Is the bt090 the only choice for track?
