- Second review of these tires at 8000 miles after original 3000 mile review. I rip on these pretty hard as the burned CF tip on the Yoshi exhaust will attest.
Original 3500 mile review: • Pirelli Angel GT 3500 ...
Final 10,378 mile review: • Pirelli Angel GT 10,37...
I actually have the angel st’s and they are awesome as well. 6000 miles later and they look pretty much like new. Thanks again for your videos. Be safe out there brother
The ST's are also a great tire. Thank you for watching, commenting, and subscribing!
Thank you for a real honest review I recently purchased at the beginning of the riding season in the spring the Bridgestone T30 Evo tires caught them on sale and a website online for $212 I currently have about 2000 miles on the tires and they are pretty good other than that I thought about my second tire and I said to myself I would try these Pirelli tires people speak so highly of them but you never really see any real interview was online so I appreciate your interview brother thank you God bless you and be safe out there on the road
Thank you for watching and your kind words. Be sure to watch the final 10K mile review. ruclips.net/video/QwEhsXPjBaY/видео.html and of course like and subscribe :-) If you do decide to go with these tires on your next purchase I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
I'm at 15,000+miles!! on my Ninja 650 with the Angel GT's, beginning to consider maybe new tires... no rush... still running fine in the Portland Rain.
There is a 10,000 mile review coming soon. They are just about roached and a new set is already purchased.
Hi, have you bought gt2 or gt model?
@@deividasvisockas
I think they were just the gt. I have a Zero SR and am using Pilot Road 5
@@chibinyra I just boutght set of gt's, gt2 have two lines in the middle and are 50£ extra in UK
My looks same after 7500 miles on it. Thanks for nice review
I have almost 10k on mine and they still have plenty of tread. I have never ridden 2 up and run tire pressure at 36psi. The bike is a 2006 gsxr600. My next set will be the angle gt2s.
They call it cupping on the tire when u get that wave. And thanks for the review as i ordered these tires
Love the tire, they give excellent flick ability! Great grip while in the turn, rain or shine., they are all I run on my bike.Only have one bike and got to ride anytime. But I do enjoy the rain. Go slower, cools down, lightning, and ppl are much more polite towards motorcycles when it raining. O and the Dragon is like empty when it rains all day, chhaaa!
I have Kawa Z1000 2013 with ABS. After cca 10 000 Km (6213.712miles :) ) front tire dead :( and rear tire is on 35 - 45% life. But again, buy these tires. :) :)
I have these on my cbr600rr. I have o my went down once on the track so not bad. Got a vid of that in the channel. But really are lasting a long time.
just got some of these ordered for my recently picked up 2009 ninja 650r. excited to see how it handles. current tires are already past the wear bar.
Thank you for your comment. Keep us posted after a few thousand miles.
I have a new pair maybe only 2500 km and am find pretty slippery until they get some heat into them.
Nice video. Just looking to replace Bridgestone S21 where I couldnt get more than 2500 miles, planning to replace them with the Angel GT and hoping for at least 4k :D
Thanks dude
nice one man love the video
Thank you!
Last season my tires wore like urs dis, flat in the middle. Then I changed my tires to pilot power and pilot power 3. And they ware out on the top and left side. While the right side looks new. I sold my bike and got a 04 r1. And they still do it on this bike. I don't understand why when I first got a bike they wore in the middle like norm. But now on my 3rd bike and they ware on the left side. Why is that you think. Oh and just to let people know I run through a pilot power in a month. By the end of the month the tire is slick. Help please.
You don't have your wheel properly aligned. Where I live all the roads are straight. That, and the fact I have a second rider sometimes is why I get wear in the center. One twisty day takes care of that though and rounds the tire right up. If you watch the 10,000 mile final review of of these tires they is very little flat spot because I had been on a twisty ride.
I have tried a lot of different tires and my max is 4,000 miles out of a Bridgestone S22 (rear) but my Suzuki GSX S1000 eats tires and when I ride it is aggressively. So I guess between my riding style and the bikes torque that's all I should expect out of a rear tire. I may try a set of these next.
Just be sure you run these or any other multi-compound tire at the manufacturer's reccomend tire pressure in order to get the mileage. If you run these at 34psi in the rear they wint last either.
Just ordered for my 07 cbr1000rr
Come back and let us know what you think.
yo i just bought the Angel GTs for my Ninja 650 today. was contemplating between the Michelin Road pilot 4 and the Metzeller Roadtech 01 initially but due to size and stock unavailability in my market, i had to settle for the Pirelli Angel GTs. I hope they turn out good!!!!!
I have yet to hear anyone be disappointed with this tire. Keep us posted on your experience.
So it's been 1 year, what you reckon? Would you recommend them?
Do you think the Angel GT would be a wise choice for the occasional track day (At most once or twice a year)?? I'm in need of new tires this year and am also looking to do my first Track Day as well. I've been running with the Michelin Pilot Road 2 and Road 3 for the past few years. I loved the PR2's, the PR3's not so much and I don't think I'd run with them on the track.
I mainly just commute/weekend ride, thus the reason I'm not looking for something like the Q3's. I need something that will last longer than they will.
I have seen them used for track. The main issue for track is that the rain grooves will tend to fill up with rubber from the track surface. The compound of this tire will work well but you may have to do some cleaning as you would with any non race specific tire.
Soooooo not a racer.... I did a taste of racing with the Ninja 650, I probably had 7K miles on when I then spent 20 minutes around the track. I'm a chicken, but I know it was certainly not the tires holding me back. But I stayed ~70-100mph at Portland International, I was the slowest on the track by far.
Chris Evans it depends on your pace. If you’re in beginner/C group, you’ll be fine. If you’re in intermediate/B group, you’re going to want to run a tire than can handle more heat, especially if the track surface is already hot.
Is your front tire mounted correctly? The water channels are running opposite to the direction of travel. Your back tire is correct.
You are wrong, It's correctly mounted!!!
@@termit1705 no, they are not
Def wrong
@@Friedolays yes it is correctly, please educate it
@@termit1705 how do i educate a tire?
Angel GT all the way..am approaching 17000 miles..still not much wear
Rajesh Raghavan how many puncher you had?, Is puncher resistance better or worse than some Indian made MRF, Ceat or even Metzler M7RR?. Secondly, have you taken it off-road in slush, what do you rate them in slush?
ajay sarvapalli never took them offroad..all driven on dubai roads even with temp reaching 55C..never had a puncture..
Touched 30000miles..still no issues..will change it before next registration test as it’s approaching 5th year..Gt 2 is out now..don’t know but that’s going to be even better than gt I’d hear..
Hey dude im torn between the Q3 and GTs what should i get i want something with good grip and good longevity for twisties ive been using the Q3s
What kind of longevity are you getting out of the Q3's? All I can say is I'm really impressed with this Pirelli tire. If you watch my initial 3500 mile review ruclips.net/video/_6IFmkXKBt4/видео.html I cover that I feel these corner as well as the Q3's on my setup. Also, my experience with Q3's is towards the end of their wear the performance really fell off. The compound on the Q3 gets very hard after many heat cycles and the flat area in the center becomes very pronounced which causes unsettling transition when turning in. In all I get over 100% more life out of the Pirelli Angel GT with superior wet performance and no noticeable difference in lateral adhesion. Unless you're a track guy these are the way to go.
Monaco GP honestly out of the Q3 I was able to get at least a little over 4K miles before wires. Honestly I just put some new Q3s performance when brand new and heating up are great and sticky. I never paid attention to how well it'll last or change in grip? So I will watch out for those. I will be replacing the Q3s with angel gts soon after I finish my front and rear(: I definitely want to see what the Angel GTS have to offer. Thank you so much!
My experience on Q3's is on cold mornings, 40 degrees, they were pretty slick until some heat got in them, which did come quickly (couple of miles). The GT's are better cold but take a little longer to heat all the way up. Warmer days, above 60 degrees, no problems with either. If you get 4K out of Q3's you'll get 8.5 out of the GT's. Keep us posted
Monaco GP thanks man appreciate it (: just earned yourself another sub (: check me out too btw I'm a motovloger
How are the grips on these, i had diablo rosso corsa 2s and they stuck to the road and the bike just leaned its self in turns but it doesn't last for shit. So i ordered these.
I think you'll be happy with these. Keep us posted.
Hi there i had ST version for more than 22.000 km r these Gt lasting longer ? Or hum much longer ? I use it for Sport Touring on my baby (Honda 929 ) , thx
These will last longer than the ST by about 30% according to Pirelli.
MonacoGP am at 30000miles now.
Why do you drive your bike when you're just going straight? On the sides is still full profile on it!
Simple answer. The roads around me are straight.We have to travel long distances to get to twisty roads. If you look at the tires there is less than a 1/8" strip on either side of the tire. For city streets and the surface issues involved with them this is leaving a margin for error and intelligent riding as opposed to being being a total idiot. I do wish there were more twisty roads near by. We do make trips to twisty roads but those are special designated rides due to the distances involved and to get to them we have long flat roads in between. Watch the 10,000 mile final review and see that the tire is nicely rounded which only happens if you do ride twisty roads. Thank you for your comment. ruclips.net/video/QwEhsXPjBaY/видео.html
Because here in Texas Bikes can also use the HOV lanes and cut huge amounts of time off a commute as well. I commute on an R1 (even though I own 2 cars as well) and then ride long distances to blast it on the weekends as like Monaco the nearest curvy roads are 2 hours away.. and the REALLY nice roads are 4+ hours away. Commute in the car same trip is almost 2 hours of dead stop traffic.. on the R1 its 35 mins. So yeah Angel GT's are awesome for that.
Why ask this question. Everybody does what he wants. If you want to go straight for 10.000 miles, or just do twisties.
As long as you enjoy it.
Bernd321ful 1st you don’t “drive your bike”, you “ride your bike”. 2nd wtf do you care?
I get ~2,800 miles out of a rear. Slightly more out of a front on my Concours 14. The sides actually wear out before the center. I have no idea how you're getting 8K miles out of a set.
For starters your bike is >270# heavier than a liter bike. Are you running pressure so low that the center of the tire is cupping? You should be using the A-spec version designed for heavier bikes as well. If I have a pillion rider my wear increases significantly. In fact this video was shot right after a long highway run on a very hot day with a pillion rider. You can see the flat spotting that caused in the center of the tire. The later 10K plus mile final review, the tire is much more rounded. I can only imagine the tire torture of your much heavier bike plus a pillion rider plus gear in those side bags. You're going to need a car tire to get any mileage.
@@MonacoGP_On_RUclips I run 41-42psi each (manual calls for 42psi each). I almost never ride two-up. No cupping. The wear looks correct for street. It's likely the fact that I almost exclusively ride twisty roads, trailing in and throttling out just short of stepping out (which happens on occasion). ;-)
@@MonacoGP_On_RUclips lol he needs to go Darkside
@@nadakidd you should have probably gotten the a spec just to handle the extra weight.
Are these tires are good for street bike as well? Lets say HONDA CB900F (919) ?
Yes
@@MonacoGP_On_RUclips Thank You Sir or Lady :D
@@MuSicFr0mTheHeart Any time. Thank you for watching.
@@MonacoGP_On_RUclips How about rainy days? Cuz I have no idea which to buy Angel GT or GT II :D
@@MuSicFr0mTheHeart GT-2 are apparently optimized for use with ABS. I haven't run them. The GTs are excellent in the rain and likely less expensive.
:)). That realy crazy to see GT tyres ona supersport bike in this case, cbr1000.... How much touring to do with a supersport bike! This tyres are a litle bit harder for supersport.... I meen, I like to feel front tyre verry confident anytime I drive from first second! If this tyre is so soft and hard in same time,that meen bridgestone do a great job. I look after this tyre to fit on vfr1200, because on supersport I fit supercorsa... That one is amazing tyre! .... Anybody have ideea for a sport tyre with at list 5-6000km lifetime?
Not crazy at all. The sides are quite soft. What's is crazy is thinking you need track tires to ride on the street.
Hi there. Looking at getting these for local around the town travel. Have you had issues with these slipping on turns in cold weather?
No, they grip well even when cold and I live in a cold climate. At 45F they can feel a little hard but are way better than other tires like Q3 I've run in the past that take a couple of miles to get any kind of grip.
@@MonacoGP_On_RUclips awesome, thanks!
Don't forget to like and subscribe if you haven't already done so. :-)
size of the tyre
why is the front mounted a different direction than the rear?
Ask Pirelli but I'd imagine it has to do with the front is designed to clear water for the rear.
@@MonacoGP_On_RUclips I thought it one of the two was backwards, but after some research, they do mount differently. Interesting.
What tyre pressure are you running
I run 42psi rear. I've found this works well for all riding. If I did more twisties I might try running lower pressure but it seems to work well enough at that level.33-36psi front. Adjust to your riding style on the front. If I'm doing twisties I drop the front pressure a bit.
I mean...I'm serious! I can't get a set of tires to last longer than 4500 miles and they look even worse than yours. I'm not saying that Angel GTs get better mileage than others either. I've tried BT-023 and Metzeler Roadtec 01 and the most I got was 4500 miles. So, either your roads are made of sheets of glass or you must drive like a baby!
And the most I've gotten out of a front tire was 7000 miles. Hard to believe you get more miles from a rear tire than I get from a front tire! LOL!
I used to be like you. Then I found these tires.
I've tried Battleax BT-023 and Metzeler Roadsmart 01 for longer mileage tires but have had poor results. You may have sold me on the Angel GT's. I hear that the Dunlop Roadsmart 3's are high mileage tires. They look like a cross between the GT's and the PR 4's and I've heard that they ride like them too. I'm not going to buy them cause they're about 3 lbs. heavier than the GT's. Which is a lot for a tire. The GT's at 14.1 lbs. were praised for being a light tire but the Conti Road Attack 3's are even lighter at 13.8 lbs.! I want to try the RA 3's but don't know if they'll get the same mileage as the GT's. I will never buy another dual front compound tire like the PR 4's and I've heard they break traction under hard acceleration. So, no PR 4's for me. I have a good front BT-023 tire but a worn rear. I'm going to buy a T30 Evo to finish off my front then I'll either try the GT's or the RA 3's. The GT's are an old tire design aren't they? You'd think that older means worse? So, I'm kind of leery about the GT's. This season I'll try both and compare the GT's vs. the RA 3's and give my review. Any thoughts?
The new Michelin Road 5 (successor to the PR4) has been redesigned to be a LOT more like the Angel GT. Wider grooves and a narrower, but not as narrow as the Angel GT, dual compound strip. That's why I like the Angel GT, the dual strip is only as wide as it needs to be then you're into the softer compound. So, take a look at the build of the new Michelin and if the Angel GT is an old design why is the closest competition in the space designing their newest tire to be more like it?
Ahhh! We need another shoot-out! This time with the Dunlop RS 3's, the Conti RA 3's and the Battleax T31's included. We all know that the PR 4's and 5's get the best mileage and the GT's get great mileage as well, but how do the other models that I mentioned compare? I know that the T30 EVO gets worse mileage than the GT's and it's been replaced. So, it's out. The Metzeler Roadtec 01 is a rain tire exclusively that gets decent mileage, not great. I don't really need a rain tire cause I never ride in the rain. We need Ryan Fortnine or Motorcyle Magazine to do a real shoot out for 2018!
how are they on the track?
They aren't track tires. Notice how the tread goes all the way to the edges? That's not preferred for full lean.
Is that correct?your front tire?
The video covers both front and rear so I'm not sure what you're asking. I buy tires two at a time. It's never good to mix tires because of balance / grip issues and water evacuation for the rear may be dependent on how the front channels it first. The fronts on these Angel GTs wear at a similar rate to the rear so I replace both at the same time.
Yes it is!!!
That's ridiculous! I'm not saying that you drive like a baby, but you must drive like a baby! Look at that! No scrapes, gouges, rough spots, or even a trace of edge wear on your grooves! Man, you must drive like a baby or have roads ma de of plate glass, cause I've never seen a tire that pristine. You should see my tires after 1000 miles. They look like somebody shot them out of a cannon or were attacked by a mob of hungry mice. Not even my front tire is that clean! How did you do that?
What tire pressures do you run? If you don't run the factory recommended pressures no tire will last. Too many riders run in the mid to low 30's then wonder why their tire shreds. Lower pressure feels more comfortable because the tire doesn't respond as quickly to inputs. Learn to ride at the right pressure. Scrapes and gouges? How are you getting those? Potholes? Everyone running these tires is getting similar mileage. I would get 3200ish miles out of a set of Q3's with the rear corded and the front about 30% left. Roads are straight in my region like most of the US so getting significant edge wear isn't happening with a fully inflated tire. If you follow the link to the final 10,000 mile review you can see the rear has not flat spotted and there are no chicken strips. Run higher pressure, I run mine 35 in front (that's 2psi lower that I state in the video) and 42 rear. I also don't hit curbs, potholes or road debris to cause gouges or scrapes. Bad or improperly adjusted dampeners can also cause freaky tire wear. The roads in my are aren't good, frankly probably some of the worst in the country here in the rust belt, but I pay attention. I ride with several large groups and also run a group so I'm in contact with a lot of riders. The vast majority run either this tire or the Michelin Pilot. We all got smart and decided wasting $ on track day oriented tires that are molded with less rubber was stupid. The only ones that have any issues with gouging are running other tires or inner city stunters.ruclips.net/video/QwEhsXPjBaY/видео.html
I run the recommended tire pressures. 36/42. My rear tires wear in the middle but I have a more rounded tire than yours when they're at their limits. I own a Z900 naked. It's more lower geared than your bike. I run a 15 tooth front sprocket and a 44 tooth rear sprocket, factory standard. And I drive very aggressively most of the time. You probably run a 16 tooth front with a 43 to 41 rear sprocket. I'm switching to a 16 tooth front sprocket for higher speeds at lower rpm's and less torque to save on tire wear. However, I don't think that either of these are the issue. I think you have better road surfaces than I do. I live in the Ozark Mtns. of Arkansas (hilly and curvy roads) and I think I recently found out why I get such poor tire wear. Not because of the hills and curves but because Arkansas is one of the cheapest ass states I've lived in other than California when it comes to highways. Here, first of all, I am a construction inspector and I know they don't build highways like they're supposed to and they also use red clay as a sub base which swells when it gets wet which causes the asphalt to crack and rut and pump. To fix the cracks and ruts, instead of resurfacing the asphalt they chip seal it because it's cheaper. I read that they're supposed to remove the excess pea gravel after a couple of days so people don't get busted windshields and nicks in they're paint but, here they don't remove it and instead just leave it on the road and it gives rougher surface than a normal chip seal road. Chip seal is bad to begin with on tires but to make it even more rough is ridiculous and is brutal on tires. Especially, motorcycle tires. One thing that I couldn't understand is that they took a brand new paved highway and chip sealed it. It was Hwy. 16 which is one of the best curvy roads in Arkansas too. I liked it very much because they put a nice brand new asphalt surface on it in July and in August they chip sealed it without removing the very loose gravel. I was so pissed! I met another biker on the highway and neither of us could go over 35 mph! And that's not the worst thing. The worst thing was that cars were passing us doing 55-65 mph throwing gravel and hitting us. I had to drive about 60 miles doing less than 35 mph. I hate Arkansas!
Also, another reason why they chip seal roads, even brand new roads, is because it provide better traction in inclement weather such as snow, ice and rain so the highway departments spend less on clearing the roads after an ice storm or snow fall. In my opinion, it's cheap, cheap, cheap. Which is a shame because Arkansas gets a lot of revenue from motorcycle riders and motorcycle events such as Bikes, Blues and Bar B Que. It's the second largest motorcycle rally in the U.S. I didn't go this year but I will next year. There are so many motorcycle routes in Arkansas that bikers love to ride but unfortunately, they're all paved with cheap-seal. I've read that many locals in other states protest when the state or county wants to pave their local roads using cheap seal, but most eventually get paved anyway despite their objections because it's cheaper than repaving. Well, I got two words for that in my book for whoever decides to use cheap-seal: "Fuck You"! You want to pay for my tires? Well, then go ahead. But me, I get tired of buying a new set every other month! So, which is cheaper? It definitely ain't cheaper for me.
Also, if you're gonna resurface using cheap seal then do it right and remove the loose gravel after a day or two and don't just leave it on the roadway! You're already doing a cheap fix don't fuck it up by doing the cheap fix cheaply!
Yeah I live on a chip seal road. You're right about they could sweep up the loose stuff after a few days. Every few years it's a pain in the ass. Luckily I'm only 1000' from a state route that they keep well paved. And yes your bike is torqueing more than mine due to the gear ratio.
