New tyre suggestions? - SV650.org

So it's that time again, after somewhere between 3-5K on my Pirelli Angel STs I now need another rear tyre (should probably check the front but think it's still all good).

The Angel STs had brilliant traction all the way to the edge but I thought I'd see if you wonderful(?) people had any better suggestions for a new rear before I go get another Angel ST.

Perhaps something that might last a little longer but with similar stick through the corners that I've come to expect...

All (Read: Most) input appreciated.

Cheers

Pirelli AngelGT if you liked the old ST.
Its such a pearsonal thing ,One mans meat etc..
Me love My Super corsas in the dry ,Conti's(attack on the RSv and Motion SV).ZX6 wears cheapy Maxxis touring .
They all do diffrent things .
They will all let go if your a clown with the brakes or corner to hard or just unlucky to come acrros rubbish.Just at diffrent loads.
Got 3,500 out my OE S Corsas.(I'm a slowcoach)

Consider Michelin Pilot Powers (normal and 2 CT) and Continental Road Attacks as alternatives. If you hadn't guessed, I like the 2CT version of the Pilot Power. Great grip, handling & feedback, well priced too

Really impressed with rear Angel GT, mileage and grip, getting front fitted next week(on Strada at the moment).

I've got pilot road 3's fitted at the moment, can't fault them at all, really grippy in the dry and fantastic in the wet. Leaves a fat 2 inch dry strip behind you ok the wet

Im on the new Bridgestone T30's and if you can get them at a decent price, I would highly recommend them! Ask Marh_h how well they performed when I was 'scrubbing' them in!
