Re: Pirelli angel
Just a wee update on these tyres so far.
Now I should point out that my experience with tyres is limited to Dunlop Battleaxe? (I think anyway, it's what was on my curvey when I bought it), Avon storms (like these a lot), and the standard Dunlop's that were on my pointy.
Also just to point out I have only put one of these Pirelli Angels on the back as the front is still ok at the mo.
First 100 mile covered last night and I must admit I completely forgot I was running a new tyre. It felt really planted from the start and my lean was only dampened by my common sense telling me "watch it, new tyre".
No rain last night but the ground was still wet from earlier in the day but I didn't get any problems at all in fact on first impressions alone I would say this tyre is fantastic, and it even looks good as an added bonus.
Like I said my experience is limited so I leave you all to make your own judgment but I'll post a bit more after a few hundred mile and see how they are then.
As ThEGr33k has mentioned life span might be an issue but I guess we'll see.
