Motorcycle Summer Premium Touring Tyres

Used these on a benelli 500 (as a downgrade bike). I’ve used many different Pirellis on different bikes.<br />
I will compare them to Avon sprint and Michelin road 2 (unfortunately discontinued) as they have been on the bike as-well.<br />
<br />
Sort of like them, but do come with some issues, they have a decent grip in the dry and surprisingly amicable in wet conditions but nowhere near as good as the road2. Never had any proper moments with them but the Angel st’s had been the only tyre to activated the abs on the bike numerous times dry or wet…<br />
<br />
Feel and communication from them is very good, far better than the road 2 without being firm end of like the Avon at normal tyre pressures. What does help with wear at the 1/2-3/4 profile (a common issue) is add few psi above the recommended helps this but starts to being closer to the Avons of being very firm without the positives of either the Road2 or Avon spirits.<br />
<br />
Mileage was middling at best and nowhere near what could be claimed as leading. <br />
Profile at the start is ok, stable but quite flat, life time profile wear was not terrible. With about 3mm left - will suddenly will get to the tread limit within a few hundred or miles. <br />
<br />
would say for my case, they are best as a very average urban usage tyre, dependable but unless it’s extremely cheaper than other tyres with more positive attributes, there are better alternatives. <br />
I wouldn’t buy again until I was desperate enough and I’d be wary on a heavier or more powerful bike.

These tyres came as OE equipment on my Ducati.<br />
They were slow to warm up and adequate in the dry. In the wet I nearly lost the front end three times. I was running the bike in so I was absolutely not pushing things. I threw them away after 600 miles. I would avoid like the plague unless you are in dry, hot conditions where they might make sense. Definitely not for wet, cold roads.

Purchased to replace an old set of Dunlop Roadsmart tyres on a VFR800 V Tec. Used mainly for a daily commute and a mix of roads including motorway. I went for the O rated tyre on the rear for extra life as the bike is quite heavy. In short, I can't fault them. I've used them in all weathers including zero degree temperatures. They are quick to warm up and give all the grip, comfort and feedback you will ever need. I will definitely be buying the same again.

The Angel STs have been great with one very important exception. <br />
Handling is great on my 2017 Kawasaki Versys 1000 LT. Wet or dry. They never gave me a "pucker" moment all the way to end of life. So why won't I buy them again? <br />
They wear out suddenly... Let me explain.<br />
I left for a weekend trip with the rear tire looking fine. It was about 1/16" (2-3 mm) to the wear bars. At my first stop (about 180 miles) I checked and it was AT the wear bars. After another tank of gas, It was showing cord. I wasn't pussy footing around, but I wasn't abusing my tires either. <br />
The front went 6,000 miles before doing basically the same thing. I will never but these tires again unless it's an emergency.<br />
I replaced them with Angel GTs. So far they have all the good characteristics of the STs, and seem to be holding up better. I'm keeping my eye on them though...

Absolutely confidence instilling tyres in almost all conditions, only haven't tried them in snowy weather. Dry grip is comfortable and also enabled me to test the limits of my bike like I have not before. The majority of my riding happens with a pillion and both of us felt the comfort as we switched to these. <br />
<br />
With my previous tyres, the wet grip was poor enough that I was being unnecessarily cautious to a point where they were taking my focus away from traffic. Now, the opposite is possible. <br />
<br />
I try to use as less brake as possible with my riding style and the wear so far seems good, I am hoping to reach 15000km at least.<br />
<br />
Unless Metzeler makes an even better tyre, I don't see myself buying a different brand or model. These honestly feel like the absolute best there is for all-year riding.

Had the V fitted for a number of years and found them to be a fantastic tyre all round. Front tyre did not last as long as the rear due to the weight of the bike and the K1600gtl being very front heavy. I now have the Road Smart IV and so far so good. I did a 2200 mile trip around Ireland this year 2025 with a every kind of road and conditions, both twist and motorway and lets say not so slow most of the time. Spent most of the time one up though full laden. The grip was never lacking and I felt confident in tone and on the open road, twisty or strait.<br />
I would highly recommend the Road Smart 4

In Brazil south roads and cities 50/50 use, the tire goes excelent on rain an dry tracks.

On dry weather it's alright. On wet weather is shit. About 7000km in the rear slips alot even when im going slow thru corner about 40km/h - 50km/h. Tyre lasted about 9500km before it needs to be changed. Ride feels harder then other tires. Felt every small bumps and going thru humps can be quite harsh.

Disaster waiting to happen. I simply do not understand how people find them safe. My rear is literally slipping in every single corner in fast twisties when I ride with more guts than I have. I think Conti Road Attack is 10x better and safer. Michelins are also a no for me. (Bmw r1100rt).

Got them oem on my hornet 750, been using them for 2 year all 4 seasons and 27500kms and theyre now in their last leg<br />
<br />
Been using 32/36 psi <br />
<br />
Without tcs i can redline up to 3rd gear on my city roads which tarmac is terrible. When im on good tarmac tcs light comes on rarely.<br />
Excellent on the wet never scared me.<br />
Cornering wise it doesnt scare probably can drag a knee but you don't get much feedback but its stable.<br />
<br />
If you're doing long rides definetly get them as life is excellent and cornering is maybe %85-90 good as lets say a power 5-6 or rosso 4s

It grips very well on wet conditions, you feel every crease on road for me that's a downside comfort is a little low

I'm not sure if this tyre is great or not. sometimes it totally crashes my self confidence on curvy roads but sometimes it feels glued to the road.
