Back to the subject of tyres, I have no intention of using H rated BT090s on any of my other bikes so why would I want them on my 600SS when I could have the choice of fitting Pirelli Diablos especially as I am going to be the person paying for them.
Now if tyres were Free then it might be different.
I can buy what make of brake pads that I want and the same applies to chain, sprockets, mastercylinders, shockabsorber, fork springs, rearsets, exhaust systems and even model of Ducati 600/620, so why shouldn't this apply to my tyres

I totally agree with that kev, but i also subscribe to the idea that a control tyre will prevent the spare wheels scenario which will be a significant advantage for those that can afford it.

I have heard of what i think is an excellent suggestion to sort out free tyre selection AND eliminate spare wheels for different conditions. It's not my idea, so maybe i shouldn't put it open for discussion here but it will certainly be brought up at the meeting on saturday.
