I am using Angels as my normal Rossos were out of stock. Not yet inspired by them. Seem a bit hard.

Loving my Bt-023's. Wet grip is fantastic as well.

When my first set of tyres ran out I changed to the Dunlop roadsmarts the front will last easily 8000miles and the rear 6000miles. I've done 20k since the first set and I wouldn't change them for anything else. The grip is brilliant both in the wet and dry.

Curse you and you ever so slightly too late comments! I'm booked in to get a pair of Angels tomorrow having read (virtually) nothing but good things about them. That said, I'm currently on the original Dunlop D220s which I hate with a vengeance but I was too tight to change whilst they still had rubber ... that said, they are now squared off to a right angle and have the wire coming through at the rear :smt011:oops: (I know, it's not clever) so I think anything is going to be a serious improvement!

£209 a pair for ride in/out didn't seem outrageous either. Besides, they apparently do some sort of novelty face changing thing which must be much more important than their handling, right?

Lol I think its time you get rid of those tyres. Even with tread the Dunlop 220 arnt at all confidence inspiring lol

Re: Which tyres?
 

The d220's on mine make it feel like the roads have permanent black ice, going around a roundabout in the wet at 20 mph gave my sphincter a good work out, I can't decide between angels, roadsmarts or bt 023's.
