My Ongoing Pirelli Angel ST Review

[SuperMike]

Well it's in a junkyard in Martinez now so we'll never know

It certainly would explain a lot.

 

[Cycle61]

I have one, ride an Aprilia or 4, have an Angel ST 180/55 ZR 17 with 800 miles (including Dyna Beads) and would you take me any more seriously?

Dyna Beads, huh?

I guess if we're headed that direction, I'm gonna have to step it up and get a car tire for mine now.

 

[Ailiaw]

what can I say? I am a cheap ass, I like to get my moneys worth

Also to Karbon who doubts me, I ride my tires past the safety point, to the point when a pebble could puncture the thinnest point.

So basically you ride an RSV 4 and are a cheap ass...


you also ride your tires past the safety point where a pebble could punture them.

So two things should be pointed out here, normal people replace their tires and don't deserve a Darwin award for riding tires until they could potentially blow out and take someone with them.


You're mileage in which they last is also off because of 'riding beyond the safety point'. People count their mileage of their tires down to the wear bars, not down to the steel belts.

I have extensive knlowledge in a few thing, and am an expert in everything else.

fixed

I have extensive knlowledge in a few thing, but general knowledge in many things.
If I don't know for a fact I am right I won't say anything or if I do give an opinion I will say I am not positive.
Am I still wrong sometimes yes as everyone is cuz people can be mistaken about what they know, but then again,
you can also mistake people.
Sort through my posts with a fine tooth comb for incorrect facts, I don't care.
but continually posting "remember when he said this" posts makes you look like a douche bag with nothing better to do.
though many of those posts are funny and make me laugh

For a guy who does not care, you sure post a lot of reply's

We have extensive klownage.

and here I thought I was going to get a good angel st review. my tuono needs tires soon

 

[russ69]

Well It is a ZR17 and I think the ZR means that it is good to go past 160 or so for a short ammount of time.

No, not quite right. Z speed rating is over 149 mph sustained. The R means it's radial construction. The tire may also have a speed code that sets the upper limit over 149 mph.

Thanx, Russ

Maybe 1/2 of riders actually replace their tires at the wear bars. I've changed a bunch of tires for a bunch of people (well into the hundreds), and most of those people don't get them changed until their tire looks like a racing slick.

There is a selection bias in my personal data, though. It doesn't count people who change their own tires, or who ride on the track and don't have wear bars.

Well, that is his tire freshly broken in, but we want to see it worn down

Like the alleged turbo on that famous Crown Vic?

 

[Bluenote]

the lack of credibility you have on this forum is not due to the volume of personal information you share.

Ahhhhh come on now , you mean you don't believe a guy who just claimed a '55 degree lean angle' on the street and yet gets more mileage out of a specific tire than anyone else in the known universe?

For shame for shame.......

REVIEW UPDATED TO REFLECT 2 UP EXPERIENCE

 

[FXCLM5]

lol i thought they banned this guy,

your review is somewhat decent, however how did you measure your 55 degree lean angle?

Very interesting, i bet you will even get better feedback if you use the same tire front and rear... lol

cuz my feelers on my pegs scrape at about 65 degrees (they were not scraping)
and I know 45 degrees is 1/2 way to the ground (which I was a little past)
so I am guessing about 55 degrees.

So, regardless of suspension compression, etc. your peg feelers always scrape at the same lean angle? Truly amazing bike you have, sir.

Snifff............sssnnnniiiFFFFF....sniiiifffffffff...................ah yes the redolent odor of the leavings of a male bovine wafting through the cool Barf air.

Where did you get the first piece of information?
