Pirelli Angel GT

The tyre I have is a 150/70 R17 not listed above, fitted to the rear of my Honda VFR1200 Crosstourer. this was fitted two years ago and has only done 3620 miles since then, the tyre is close to the limit of the wear indicators and I may get another 500 miles. While it has performed well I am far from happy with the milage that I have had out of it, unless I am expecting too much?? My last bike was a Pan European 1300, which traveled all over and was use abroad for 3 year, I got much better wear from the tyres on that, using Bridgestone tyres.....

Been using these on my FJR1300, fantastic tyre although i would emphasise on making sure you buy the 'A' spec tyre as the previous owner hadn't and front tyre worn badly on the shoulders due to the excess weight of the FJR, good feedback and confidence in the wet and great mileage.Work equally well two up and loaded for touring,no complaints. Will be replacing with another set shortly

Phenomenal tyre! Had a puncture in my old front Avon which flicked a nail into the rear Avon.
Had these fitted as replacements having never ridden on Pirellis before & they have been brilliant. Even when new & they were bedding in they were awesome! After the tyres were worn in they were so grippy that my confidence as a rider improved as well. Will definitely be buying again.

Great touring tyres.

I had a set of the Angle ST and they were great, 14000K and still going when I sold the bike, and they handled good.

I am riding a Kawasaki 650 Ninja now and replaced the stock tires with the Angle GT, big mistake, ruined the handling - with tire pressure at recommend 32 and 36 the rear tire felt flat and tame, with 32 and 40 it improved the lackluster tracking of the rear tire coming out of a turn but the lively switching of the stock tire is still gone. Might get you good mileage, but not worth the loss of handling on a sport bike. All the pro reviews are only interested in getting to do another review down the road.

I bought these for my GSXR 600K7 after killing my Brigestones on the M27 / M3 traveling to work. I really cant fault the tyres, I ride mainly during the week and occasionally at the weekend. Don't get me wrong, im no driving Miss Daisy my bikes been race tuned by Crescent with a few performance upgrades. I would say 98% of rides will never get close to the limitations of this rubber.

I have these on my 2011 Aprilia rsv4 factory and for wear these are buy far the best tyres I have had. Had them on for 5000 miles and no where near the end of there life.road feel is good but never going to be as good as a sport tyre, great in the wet and inspire confidence. if you are looking for a long life tyre that you can push to the limit on occasions I would 100% recommend these.

When new, the front/rear combo felt great. As the front wore (my VFR800 eats front tyres) it started under-steering lots and i lost confidence in it and could not wait for it to wear out completely and be replaced. One section of the front tread pattern where a small block exists on the edge and is unsupported it wears (scrubs) much quicker and goes to the bottom of the tread whereas the rest of the tyre has tread remaining. Rear tyre has a flat profile from new (big footprint when vertical) and gets flatter as it wears. Tip into corners a bit slow but not too bad and you get used to it. Wet performance is good. Super comfortable for touring. The front tyre's construction is not stiff enough for me and as it wore it started feeling mushy and lost feel/feedback. Rear felt good till the end. Reluctant to use front tyre again and while rear is OK, it's profile is not optimal for hills riding. Have moved on the different tyres.

I bought these tyres after reading several magazines and put them on my ZZR 1100 and they performed excellent. The roads and area that I live mean that it's often more wet than dry. After doing 2k I would recommend. I matched a pair for Front and Rear.
