donno what the secret is...i'm hard on my tires. i DO run them at 33psi so i wonder if that has anything to do with it. abe
I have approx 3k miles on my vfr with them. I think they are a very good tire, expecially in the rain. My last 8k and if they do, I'll be quite happy. I have Bstones 016's on my Buell tuber. The Angels are not as sticky but good enough for what I do.
just ordered them from jakewilson.com for 227.00 for the pair. coupon code cactusjw saves you 20 bones.
OK, so I finally got these things mounted on my bike, and i've just come back from a nice 2 day trip in all kinds of conditions including rain, busted surface and pristine new blacktop. So far, they appear to be very capable in all conditions. They feel very planted in the rain, and transition from side to side better than any tire I've had on this bike. Plenty of sticky with the bike heeled over as well. Over all It seems a very good fit for a big heavy bike.
Got a set on my FJR. Feel very good on wet pavement. Just put a set on my wife's FZ1 and she loves them too.
My rear lasted just under 5k on my ULY. I am happy with the way they handled but would have like to get a few more miles out of them. To be fair 2k of the miles were heavily loaded.
Well, I got a great price on them from my local independent dealer, so I replaced both the front and rear with a set of Angel STs. I only have about 700 miles on them so far, but I like them a lot. Great grip, confident feel, neutral in the turns, and my wife and I both agree the ride of our RT has improved since the Metzeler Z6s were replaced.
That mileage sounds about right.... do you have any comparative mileage with other premium sport-touring tires? I'm hearing these tires are neck & neck with the PR2s.
I got 6000 mostly 2-up miles out my Metzeler Z6 rear tire. I fully expect to do better than that with the Angel ST. i very carefully keep rear tire pressure at 44 psi.
Sorry, I don't. I replaced my rear with a Shinko Raven which feels a little harder than the Pirelli. I guess I'm willing to trade some grip for extra mileage. I need to slow down anyway.
Once again heres a guy that claims to get miraculous mileage out of his tires. He has more tread at 6k than Ihave after I spin balance mine.How in the hell do they do it?By 3500 to 4000 I'm lookin for new rubber and try different brands but see no real difference in longevity. Are you trailering your bike and counting that mileage also?
anyone whose has used BT-023 and these 'angels'? how do they compare? I got 9k miles from a BT-023 rear and would like to try the angels next.
I'm running a set of them right now on my CBR1100XX. I went with the heavy version for the rear. Currently I have about 500 miles on them with no problems. Running Honda recommended pressures 42/42. They ride pretty nice. If I get 5k miles out of them I'll be really happy. My last rear lasted only 2k.
