Has anyone ridden the Pirelli Angel ST?

[Motig]

Can anyone tell me how much the Angels cost approx ? Ta.

[nallac]

Ha ha ! good guess
Road Attack 2 has just landed.

They sound good ..was throughly impressed with the RA's on the Hornet...
Its gonna be hard to pick a new set of tyres next time aound.

Yeah, the largest rim you should fit a 180 to is a 5.5 inch. A six would definitly stretch a 180 out.

Funny that nobody told Aprilia that? The factory spec is for 180/55 on a 6" rim.

Hitcher, I'd be interested to read how the change affects things, if at all?

[Mishy]

Yeah, quite a bit has changed since then . . . .. .

When I bought mine for a gsx650f they cost me Front $248.00 Rear $288.00 and that was in Sep 2009

Hope that helps

Better profile for most rear tyres, compared with a 180/55 on a 6" rim. I'd also like to maximise my contact patch at more extreme lean angles. My various rear tyres on the Shiver have never had chicken strips on them. I'm thinking that that can't be a good thing.

First rally last weekend , noticed the 180/55 very sharp in the steering compared to the 190/50, just look at the corners and bike falls into them. similar thoughts to you hitcher, only one ride and no chicken strips, see what i think after a few thousand k's thru.

well thats me test rogered. Just swapped the bike , going to have to start all over again . New triple has dunlop qual??? on it , original fitment, do for the next rally anyway.

it's always hard to change a tyre brand from one you know to one you don't know. Specially at the price they are...

[blackdog]

Bump for interests sake. Would like to hear more now that these have been out for a bit.

Oh, and Shaun I certainly hope they're better than the Motion.

nothing wrong with the motion as far as im concerned, even when riding 'spiritedly'

waaaaay better than the mz4s i replaced with them

Not too many that wouldn't be better, except for maybe the Z2 they replaced.

After several thousand km, I have yet to ride my Angels in the wet.

[banditrider]

Just got back from 5,000km of South Island bliss and my PR2's are at 11,000km with at least another 1,000 in them. My mate (Connie 14 as well) had Angels on for this ride and is most impressed with them. We had major rain on Akaroa & out to Milford and back and he thought they were great in the wet. I'll be trying some in approx 1,000km...

Happy with mine, the wear appears good, I am not a fast rider and am happy to have chicken strips but these certainly have been confidant enough reduce the size of mine from normal.
