Got quoted $260 for new rear Angel GT today. $50 cheaper than 2 yrs ago, new Angel 2 makes them cheaper.Happy with that.

Hooli

Great tyres, much much better than PR4s.

She's doing it wrong then!

This one had 7.3k on when I checked it before getting back on the ferry. It was a fun 225miles home in the rain from Portsmouth.

It's on the wear markers at the sides too, I did my best with the roads I found.

I understand. Tire wear is influenced by so many factors that it is hard to compare even apples to apples.

Maybe Emma does not eat as many pork pies as you Hooli  :whistling:
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

@Hooli there was still legal
Tread in her tyres but looking like a 50p The handling was rubbish due to this.
Emma doesn't ride very aggressively or corner very hard .
I never get The same mileage as she does .
Strange thing us though we have very different riding styles we mostly travel together .

My front tyre always goes like a 50p, Angels seem to resist doing so for a lot longer than PR3/4s though.

What's your 50p look like then?   Have sharp angular edges (hexagon shape?)

Hooli

A bit like this, where the centre hard bit has thread but the softer sides wear out first. This one isn't too bad yet tbh, but it's starting to go.

50p coins have 7 sides.


KiwiCol

Yeah, I've a pr3 set on the blue & they're doing that. Ya go into a corner & you feel a definite 'drop' as you lean in.  Annoying & it upsets the trajectory I thought I had.
