Pirelli angel st

[TANK0700]

hi Guys off touring in the next week and been offered a full set of Pirelli Angel ST fitted for ?195 , I have only run Avons Storms and then switched to Michelin pilot 3 but the cost has shot up on the latter so hoping for a bit of guidance before I part with my cash , thanks in advance

What tyres is a little like how long is a piece of string?

Everyone will have their own opinions and it's usually linked to how they ride.

Here's mine.
I'm on my second set of Angel STs and have no issues with them, I think my last rear did around 7500 (would need to check this though). There's plenty of grip on both wet and dry roads and they give me the confidence to ride hard should I feel the need.

I've thrashed around the twisties, toured & ridden two up and use the bike throughout the year, I can't really fault them.

Previous to that, I've used Bridgestones & Michelins, Bridgestones being the worst.

I'd go for the Pirellis, especially at that price, but then I like them.

I think at the momment, the pirelli's, road pilots 3 or 4, avon storms both 2's and xm's are all good tyres and any of them would be great for your needs.

Were I choosing now I'd be happy with any of them.

Agree Bridgestones would not even be up for consideration.

Not many poor tyres on the market now, but my vote is for avons as they are as good as any others but last longer so are cheaper in the long run.
