Ive had both 90's and 92's. 90's didnt last long so if you do mostly road riding then id stick with the 92's, plenty grip.

I've got some 090s and I do like them. Most of my riding is on twisty roads but they'd probably flatten off fairly quick if used for commuting.

the best combo for 09? is a 092 rear and a 090 front.

Fantastic tyre and haven't had a moment from them so they are ace in my opinion, feedback is very good from the tyre also

BT090's are the best tyres I have used, plenty of feel and I feel confident with them on road and track.
