Pirelli Angel ST 120/70ZR-17 58W Front Motorcycle Tire (1868400) - High Performance, Durable, and Reliable Tire for Sport Touring Bikes

I put these on a 2011 Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX.It had Dunlop on it when I bought it, and they were already towards the end of their life cycle. By the time fall started, they had become choppy and cords started showing.I wanted a good sport touring tire, and almost went with Dunlop again. In my research I came across the Pirelli line, and learned about these.The ST line are two generations old now, but Pirelli still makes them new (and these were only a few months old when I got them). Quality wise they are what you'd expect. Very attractive tire with what seems to be very high quality rubber.I've only put about 2-400 miles on them before winter came, but have ridden in the dry and the wet, and relatively cold (about 45°F) and they have performed amazingly.Grip has been non-stop, I certainly do not have the bike or the skill to over ride these tires. They have performed excellent in the rain, with no hints of hydroplaning or traction loss. Even in the cold, there wasn't a drastic grip loss waiting for them to heat up. I have had them up to triple digit speeds as well, and of course they held up fine. They are very quiet and don't seem to add sort of discomfort over harsh roads.The newer generations of this tire line (the GT and I believe GT2) are supposed to be better, and I'm sure they are, but for the price I truly believe these are the best tire for the money so far.I will update when they start to wear down, but I expect at least 8k miles out of them considering the bike and rider weight and riding style. These were installed 9/19/24 at 36425 miles.

Not the type to write out a review but these tires came in clutch, perfect on curves, highway, the design is good, have driven in rain on the freeway and city they do not loose traction. Absolutely worth it. Hate going somewhere and they try to upsale you so to buy these off Amazon and have them delivered was also a plus

Great tire and good price

Arrived in time frame I was given. Got them put on today, super smooth riding. Very pleased with purchase and will continue to buy my tires from them.

Picked up a pair of these for my Moto Guzzi Norge. Price was excellent, delivered ahead of schedule too. Once mounted, made a huge difference in how the bike handles and the available grip is just confidence inspiring wet or dry. Probably ridden more in the wet then dry since getting them and have been fairly impressed. Not ridden on them long, only about a month or so but no signs of wear yet.

Both tires were manufactured in 2018 IAW date code at the end of the DOT number. Still have to mount them on my VFR800FI. Should be great, they're Pirelli's!UPDATE: Got tires on the bike, stick like glue once the surface treatment wore off. Good to go!UPDATE: These are the BEST tires I have ridden on. Put about 1k miles on them, still stick like glue, very little wear so far but I don't do any burn outs. Handles well & smooth up to 130 mph (I do ride fast!) I'm gonna order another set b4 they are gone. Keep the shiny side up & ride safe.UPDATE 07/2021: Still have a good amt of tread left on the frt tire. The rear tire has begun to show steel belts in the center of the tread but I still have the small tread voids in the center of the tread showing. It appears that the belts were high in rubber, as I have never run a tire to the belts/cords before this. I have never had voids still showing on the tread and had to replace the tire because of carcass exposure.I have already gotten another set of these tires to put on, and will rate them on the new review of that set. These are great tires and I hope that this set was just a hiccup in manufacturing. Still grip great and I have never felt like they would slip when leaned over even at hi speed.Update: 02/2023 purchased another set of these Angel ST tires in 11/2022, and my steel belt is starting show thru again with the middle tread just about to reach the tread wear indicators. This still seems like the steel belts are high in the rubber but other than that these still perform well and I have confidence in the grip of the tire in a turn at high speed (I ride routinely at 85-100 mph on freeway here in CA). I will have these mounted tomorrow. This makes the 3rd set of these tires I have put on this bike and I still recommend them for their grip and feel of the road dry or wet, I also ride in the rain when it comes down and don't notice much difference when it is wet.

Only one ride so far to scrub these Angel STs in after I spooned them onto my R1200RT this morning, and I'm very impressed. Neutral steering, comfy ride, and nothing but confidence inspiring in hard corners. So far, I'm liking them better than my current favorite T32s. Both STs had mid-2024 date codes, so nice and fresh. No additional balance weights were required with the red dot (light spot) on each tire aligned with the rim valve stem, so good build quality. I ride a lot in the rain and am looking forward to trying them in those conditions, and of course the jury is still out on tread life. As long as they can deliver at least 6k miles, especially at this price these tires will be all I ride on. Glad I gave them a try.

Tires have good wet & dry traction. Ware is good 8,000 to 10,000 miles. I've used these tires before . Mass depo gives great service
