Training Wheels
OK, a body of mileage data from multiple sets of Pirelli Angel ST's. I am shoeing on a fourth rear and third front this week and felt my experience could be helpful for those looking for tire information. First of all, I LOVE these tires. Great ride, terrific grip for the twisties, and very confident in the wet, and they are priced right. Each set of tires were used for daily commuting and nice mix of superslab and aggressive riding in the Blue Ridge. Here's my data, all in stock sizes:
Rear #1: 7238 miles (no top box until late in life, religious on keeping tire pressure 42+ psi)
Rear #2: 5695 miles (top box all the time, was not as watchful of psi. A little more highway.)
Rear #3: 6513 miles (top box, kept a close eye on 42+ psi)
Front #1: 11,276 (worn out, squared off)
Front #2: 8170 miles (some cupping, feeling "heavy"in low speed turns, still has life left, replacing anyway)
Oh, and Jake Wilson has them on sale, $102.99 Front, $140.99 Rear. Couldn't pass up a new set for $244 with free shipping! Will go with a 190/55 on the next rear.
