tis time for some new rubber due to slow puncture in the rear- front isnt looking too good either-
am running battlax BT92's at the min, can anyone reccomend anything maybe better? (used for fast road/commuting)
cheers all!

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.

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.

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..

I'd recommend a 92 rear and a 90 front then.

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

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!

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.
