Pirelli Pneus ANGEL ST 180/55 ZR 17 M/C (73W) TL

Predictable grip in the wet and dry. Seem to not wear quite as well compared to previous Bridgestones, but grip a bit better in the wet on my ‘98 GSX 750, I am not a GP rider but then again, this isn’t a ‘lightweight’ 500 twin either, when riding something like this, you have to mean it and don’t want to be let down by cheapo ‘India Rubber brands’ half way round a corner. These are far better than anything that was available when the bike was new as are all mainstream brands. So far, I can’t fault them. Generally speaking, really sticky tyres wear out quick on heavier bikes and long life tyres don’t grip. These seem to have dual compound characteristics??

Absolute perfection. These tyres inspire confidence! Superb handling and braking characteristics. The make my bike feel lighter and more agile. I run them 3psi higher than rated on my machine and they feel great. Very happy with the tyres and I’ll by them again and they have now become my go to tyre!

I drive motorcycles around 40 years, priming for safety than sportivity. My goal is ride long kms and safe. Not for speed.

I drive 400-500 km on occasions, in a day. I prefer serpentines to highways. The pirelli st tires (same type, both) behaved impeccably, as can be seen from the evaluations.
