Tire Information

Let me add a Pirelli Angel review. The rear is good for 5500 to 6,000 miles. I actually went through 2 fronts to one rear. Last front I got 4500 miles. Kept front pressure at 36.2 and eased off the twisty roads. Great dry performance but my RS just eats Angel front tires.
Went through 2 sets of Metzelers new Z01. Very good all round tire but poor wear up front with lots of feathering g and cupping. No such issues like that with the Pirelli.
Just got a pair of Road 5s and initially all I can say is they feel really nice. Turn in feels light and almost like the Roadsmart III.

Thanks for the comments on the Pirelli Angels. I had wondered about that given that they are targeting the same motorcycles. I would not want a tire that eats up front tires faster than my rears like that, when the rears are only good for 5500 to 6,000 miles. Even considering different riding styles etc that seems to be too low.

As for the Metzelers … I have heard about wear issues up front also, so it is likely that I will be giving those a pass. So far for me are the Michelin PR4 and R5 and the Dunlop RS IIIs.
