hi
right i need a new pair of 090's for the VFR at the mo ive got a bald 090 on the rear and a fairly good nick tourer tyer on the front. How much will it cost to get a new set of 090's and fitted.

Also is it worth keeping the hard front tyer i have now and getting a similar one for the back which i can fit when i go on long journeys (motorways) and change them back to the 090's afterwards? cause the 090's last for few miles, how much would it cost for tyers changes? is it worth it

There's a guy on the 400GB forum who can supply a pair of 090s for £135 inc delivery, but obviously you'll either have to fit them yourself or pay someone to do it.

It's definately worth having a matching pair of tyres...what's your current front?
