Until recently I had Pirelli Angel GTS on my K1600GT (6,600 miles). They were great tires until recently when their profile made it more difficult to initiate and hold the line going through a curve. After 6,600 hard miles they still had 3mm of tread on the front and 4mm on the rear tire and I probably would have left them for another 1,000-1,500 mile if not for an upcoming trip.
Tomorrow I will be installing RS IIIs and looking forward to the back to back comparison with the Angel GTs.

Currently I have Road 5s on my R1200RS.

John it will be great to hear your thoughts on the RS IIIs back to back with the Pilot Road 5s. Sounds like the Pirellis got squared off although knowing how you ride I can't see how. My RS IIIs are doing well so far … hardly showing wear and now has about 2500 miles on it.
