No one has them in stock anymore.
The BT-090 has been around a while. They are a track day riders tire. They are supposed to have a lot of grip. I don't believe that they are made for longevity as they are a single compound tire.Harrysf707 wrote:...they are now called BT090.

Thanks Rage, but all they list is the 160-18 anymore...them and everyuone else I've checked. The 160/70-18 is recom,mended for 4.25" and larger rims. You'd think someone would have old stock on handragedigital wrote:Try here, Razor... (free shipping, too!)reelrazor wrote:I justt bought a new Avon for my front this spring.

They have the BT-016 in a 150/70-18 for $121. That will fit the FZR rim nicely.reelrazor wrote:Thanks Rage, but all they list is the 160-18 anymore...them and everyuone else I've checked. The 160/70-18 is recom,mended for 4.25" and larger rims. You'd think someone would have old stock on hand

The grip from higher quality, modern tires is amazing. After dropping my GSXR down to the ground, going through a corner way too fast - my knee was between the gas tank and the ground - my bike came back upright maintaining grip._Will_ wrote:Same thing I've been finding and I'm balding on my rear, I've run a 160 on the BT016 and had great turn in but now that I'm a mountain rider (as opposed to Fl roads) the lack of stability at lean is a big concern.
Oh I know, my BT016 has saved me a number of times and I've had more than my share of close calls. Sometimes it seemed like the Florida sand was on a mission to take me down. Their biggest testament is how little they're affected by the lackluster and warn suspension.ragedigital wrote:The grip from higher quality, modern tires is amazing.

Your real concern should be road conditions. Loose gravel is everyone's enemy. Cold tires on wet roads can easily spell disaster.
When you think your bike and its tires are at its limit, have a local racer take it out and prove you wrong.
