tyre choices, bridgestone or dunlop

[tom_04]

i appologise if this has been asked before, ive searched as best i can for info regarding this task before posting

im looking to buy a new set of tyres for my nc23,

shall i get Bridgestone Battlax Bt090 or Dunlop GPRa-10 ?

ive found a set of BT090 120/60/17 and 150/60/18 for £191.95 delivered

and a set of Dunlop GPRa-10s the same dimensions for £209.95

just wondered what peoples opinions were ?

cheers Tom

Try FWR tyres £174 for the alpha's

Their both good tyre's, dunlops maybe a bit more sticky than the bridgestones, neither last that long.

I use the BT090s and like them, never used the Dunlops though. Wouldn't mind trying them.

You can get the Bridgestones for £176.04 delivered or the Dunlops for £166.80 delivered from http://www.nationalbiketyres.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Defiantly worth giving Graeme France a call 07778628448 before you order anything he's always got good deals on tyres

I havent tried either of those tyres unfortunately, but I have however, been able to compare a few different Dunlop tyres to a few different bridgestone tyres and every single time I prefer to use the bridgestones. To me the bridgestones seem a little softer and easier to manage and you get a good feeling out of them compared to the Dunlops ive tried that have always seemed too hard and slippy.


Thats all i can say on the matter really Im afraid. LOL

We do both sets for £170 delivered next day UK mainland - bit extra for Scottish highlands and the IOW.

Paypal is fine as per signature email if that helps.

Cheers

Didn't know you sold new tyres Graeme, will remember that next time I need a pair!

[GF Racing]

We sell hundreds of tyres a year - just about everything - even have some nice discounted new 600 size Pirelli Diablos due end of Feb - SC2 rear - SC1 front.

Bit scary to remember when we started - we were selling NC30 BT090s at £135 a pair delivered and still making a smallish profit.

We buy enough to get free Pirelli WSB complimentary tickets every year at one round !

Last season we auctioned them off in aid of DF's BSB effort.

Will you be at the Brands Hatch BSB in April?
