Callum some good old threads on this dilemma just search in steering and suspension under Tyre choice

Been looking at these Bridgestone BT090 PRO tyres, just wondered if anyone had used them or know anything about them

Daz,

BT90's are ace. I have had them on most of my KR1/S's and they stick like s**t to a blanket.

Cheers

Andrew
