@Gaza

How many miles do you have on them so far? Are they lasting longer than the Diablos?

Thanks,
Nick

The Angel is a sport touring type tire. They will last longer than any Diablo.

Is it true that you are only allowed to run these tires on one of the Almost Angelic white Buells?

FWIW they were listed in the last Buell accessories catalog...did that mean Erik approved them???

If Erik (or someone) didn't approve them, they wouldn't be the OEM tire on the 2010 XB12XT : )

They were the replacement for the Diablo Strada. However, Buell used the higher load tire on the XB12XT. I seem to recall the Angel ST E.

I have the angels on my front and rear. The rear stock was changed about 4100 miles. I have 8500 miles now, and there is plenty of meat left, and I do not exactly take it easy on my tires...and the performance is above ample for street use, just my $.02

Here is the pointy question....will a Pirelli Angel ST corner as well as a Corsa III? I want as much life from my tire as is reasonably possible without sacificing cornering ability (I need all the grip I can get to help keep my old squid azz out of the ditch). The original Corsa III's were excellent tires.

My choices are to get a new rear tire (I can still get a Corsa III)....Buy a Set of tires so everything matches....or sit my azz out till I make up my mind....

I am thinking of going to a 190/50 on the rear...I know Pirelli lists a 5.5 inch rim as acceptable for a 190 Corsa....I can find no such specification for the Angel ST...I need to order by tomorrow so I can have Jezebel on the road this weekend.

I just popped a Rosso on the back and the bugger is as good as the corsa III for me I don't rip the tires apart but I aint easy on em either . I could not afford 2 tires and the front was still ok and you can mix the corsa III and the rosso it worked fine paid $159 if money isn't an issue we got guys running Angels that love em but I would not mix an Angel and a Diablo thats just me though

Thnx Brumbear I'll see how it pans out...there is a local Badweber and his wife working with some guys that have set up a small parts and accessories shop locally....My front tire is in good shape so I think I will get a new rear....by the time I wear that out, I will need a whole set....then go with the sport/touring tires...
