For the last few years I've been using Pirelli Angel ST tyres on the SV, prior to that Pirelli Diablo Stradas.

I'm now just looking for a pair of Angel ST tyres as the rear is not far from the wear limit, and while I can find a rear 160/60/17 I can't find a front 120/60/17 anywhere. The only pairs I can find in the sizes I need are the Angel GT which are about £70 a pair more expensive. What I'm wondering is whether the GTs last longer enough than the STs to make it worthwhile stumping up for them.

I suspect in the absence of any of the correct sized front STs I may have no choice but to by the GTs.

Damn!
