090,s are excellent tyres for fast road & track use. They are specifically designed for 400,s, so they heat up well & are still good in the rain. Another good 400 tyre is the Dunlop gpr70,s tho I personally havent any experience of these but others on 400greybike reccomend them. A good option for the Bridgestones if you do a fair few road miles are a 090 front & 92 rear, its a slightly harder wearing tyre but still gives enough grip for track use as well.
Dont be tempted to use zr rated tyres as unless you are a track god you wont get them up to temperature enough for maximum grip.
I personally run 090,s & have never had a moment with them on track, thats good enough for me!
