#1 | Pirelli Angel GT II datum

Tue Jul 02, 2019 3:59 pm

After the standard Metzelers (8200 km.) I had a set of Pirelli Angel GT (I) mounted that lasted just a bit over 9000 km., followed by a set of Dunlop Roadsmart III that lasted 11000 km. I've now tried the Pirelli Angel GT II but after only 2 trips and 5250 km. the front tyre has been reduced to 2 mm. of thread while the rear still has 3,5 mm. And as I'm off to the Italian Dolomites in a couple of days I gues I'll have to renew the front.

Anyone having a better experience in milage with these tyres? (The grip however is fantastic.)

And there is an offer in the UK - free front if you buy a rear - from Demon Tweeks

They should have replaced my front tyre for free as I expected a lot more milage. But then again, I'm switching back to Dunlop Roadsmart III as they don't only last longer, these tyres also keep the proper handling during their lifetime. The Pirelli, as did the Metzelers, began to steer a bit heavier whilst aging.

Oh, and they have an offer in Holland as well, a free Spidi back protector with special Pirelli Design. If that would only be in line with their calanders....

I have 2,000 miles on the Angel GT 11s on my RT. So far the wear seems pretty good but it is too soon to tell.
