Angel GT

Either set will be great Eric. We have Mitchy devotees & Pirelli devotees on the forum. 

I've had both, as have a lot of us. For me, both were very good at the start, then the PR4's started to get an aversion to white lines & decided they didn't like the wet as much as they used to. This was from about ½ worn. 
The Angels I've had on my black, were very good indeed straight out of the box, on the down side, these were the tyre that low sided me (on some loose gravel on a hairpin admittedly) at the start of Dec last year.  Not blaming the tyres in either instance, just what I've experienced.

Now that you've opened the "can", just watch the "worms" go!

My worm says Angels

There's a PR5 out now as well, says it's even better in the wet ½ worn, than the PR4 is new.

my worm says just shut up. you know my choice. last weekend, speaking to bloke on very high mileage 14, he uses bridgestone. not a brand i like. he gets around 23 ks from a set. not sure how. on his 10th set. bloke at work had same on cb600 honda, front went out of shape at 4k.

[KiwiCol]

[KiwiCol]

About Angel GT; I've had two Pilot Road 3 and two Pilot Road 4 rear tyres in my 14. I have liked them. I've been interested in Angel GT.
Today I visited in Helsinki MC Show 2018 and met a guy and saw his FJR 1300 and his 35 000 km driven Angel GT. There was 2 mm left.
He told me there is five different versions of 190/50-17 Angel GT. Unfortunately I could not ask him what they are and what it should be.
Does anybody here know?

@Andre
Thank you!
Maybe the next set is Angel GT.
Is it as good as PR 4 on wet?

[grog]

T24,good in the wet but 35ks is hard to believe. Just changed front at 19. Left rear on as still good.

According to the bumpf, the new Michelin Road 5's (Michelin have dropped the Pilot word from the range now) are supposed to be as good as or better than the Angel's in the wet even when half worn. In fact looking at the tread in the new 5's it does look remarkably similar to the Angels.....hmmmm.

Of course being a new tyre on the market, this is just the claim by Michelin, I haven't seen any consumer feedback to support this. But then tyre technology us changing all the time, the Angels must be due an update soon I guess as well - who knows what they will bring out.

Grog, I can't say is that 35 k the truth, but you can read it from www.goodwillbiker.com .
Mission of mr. Topi Rautjoki was to ride 21 "iron butts" during one summer, For the memory of his friend Topi Hynynen who had that original mission to ride those 21 iron butts, but he died in road accident on 7.7.2017 while he was riding that mission.
