Pirelli Angel ST 180/55ZR17 (73W) Rear Motorcycle Tire – High-Performance Sport Touring Tire for Enhanced Grip, Durability & Stability – Fits Sport & Touring Bikes

Awesome tires that also look great on motorcycle. When delivered tires were new fresh rubber, dated 1625 which make them only 6 months old at time of install. I mounted + balanced both tires on a 2019 Kawasaki Z900RSC with no issues. The front tire: 120/70ZR17 / Rear tire: 180/55ZR17. After 200 miles of riding; grip, handling, corning, smoothness, and straight away speeds have been perfect. On the highway or mountain roads, tires do the job and inspire confidence. Have not had these in the rain yet, so we will see. I have been riding since 1986 both dirt + street and I am happy with these tires, especially the low price! Highly Recommend 5 stars.

I put these on a 2011 Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX. It had Dunlop on it when I bought it, and they were already towards the end of their life cycle. By the time fall started, they had become choppy and cords started showing. I wanted a good sport touring tire, and almost went with Dunlop again. In my research I came across the Pirelli line, and learned about these. The ST line are two generations old now, but Pirelli still makes them new (and these were only a few months old when I got them). Quality wise they are what you'd expect. Very attractive tire with what seems to be very high quality rubber. I've only put about 2-400 miles on them before winter came, but have ridden in the dry and the wet, and relatively cold (about 45°F) and they have performed amazingly. Grip has been non-stop, I certainly do not have the bike or the skill to over ride these tires. They have performed excellent in the rain, with no hints of hydroplaning or traction loss. Even in the cold, there wasn't a drastic grip loss waiting for them to heat up. I have had them up to triple digit speeds as well, and of course they held up fine. They are very quiet and don't seem to add sort of discomfort over harsh roads. The newer generations of this tire line (the GT and I believe GT2) are supposed to be better, and I'm sure they are, but for the price I truly believe these are the best tire for the money so far. I will update when they start to wear down, but I expect at least 8k miles out of them considering the bike and rider weight and riding style. These were installed 9/19/24 at 36425 miles. Edit 6/13/25 at 38200 miles: Tires are still great. Still extremely happy with them. They do definitely lean more towards the touring side of sport touring though as I learned when I felt these next to my buddies new Battleax Tires. Jeez those are soft.

Great tires , great price, and perform better than stated ! I have only Had them on my bike for around 3 months but they are holding up very well and are the best handling tires I have ever had I can scrape the pegs in any weather condition and keep total traction and control ! Very very happy with this purchase ! They showed up in just a couple days were super easy for me to install myself 5 stars I would give them even more stars if I could !!!!

Great tires for a good price, handle a bit different than my old tires but absolutely an improvement. Would prefer these to shinko or Michelin so far.

Working out good so far. Haven't ridden much cause of weather but think I will be satisfied. Ride feels better

Very low price for a set of sport touring tires. They feel good on dry roads. I have not yet had them on wet roads. I do not have 1000 miles on them so it is difficult to predict wear. Have them mounted on a Suzuki GSX-S1000GT.

I just put these on and went for a short ride so not a long term review here. These replaced the OEM Dunlop Roadsmart that came on my Z900, and the pirellis are much more confidence inspiring and feel stickier. Traction control used to intervene much more often with the dunlops when going wide open throttle. I haven’t yet gone full lean with these, but leaned the bike decently on some twisty roads and the pirellis don’t slide around at all where the dunlops used to. I’m impressed so far with dry weather traction. I’m hoping to get 5000-7500 miles out of these based on other reviews. I mounted them myself, it took some elbow grease to get them on the rim, but they balanced perfectly. The front tire didn’t even need any balance weights, and the rear only needed half an oz. Also, these tires were manufactured in 2024, so they're not old discontinued tires like i have read on some other comments. Overall very pleased so far!

Tires are great and really hugs the road, especially cornering.
