The PR2 has been the best I've fitted on the Thou. Nearly 7000 miles out of a pair and consistent grip/steering right to the end. Maybe not the ultimate in wet weather grip (if you believe the marketing hype about the latest generation of tyres) but available cheaper now.
What does it matter what peoples opinions are now you have bought them Not a helluva lot, but this post was started last September and there are loads of new members on here since then who may have more to add to the pot for members in the future, or anyone else looking in for that matter Quote from: Tmation on 08 July 2013, 03:42:26 amBT30 is the latest sport touring and are supposed to be excellent, they even have Valentino in the advert .Shit, Ive not seen the advert yet.

My bro-in-law had a set of angel st's on his tuned up mille. He rides like a demon, and is hardly off the throttle, hence why the rear lasted him only 2k Damn good tyres. I'm on a contimotion rear on the fz1, and I can edge them out with loadsa grip! Modern st tyres are great, why would you buy full on sport rubber? :-\
...Loved the Pirelli Angel ST, had them on my Gen 1 Fazer 1000 now on Fazer 8 which came with BT021's which I hated, as front kept feeling as if it was going to let go.Suppose in a lot of ways depends how you ride and what sort of mileage you do, found ST's also lasted well and didn't really square off as much as Bridgestone's

They were discontinued before the F8 was even invented.

They go hard and that would be a legal death warrant if anyone crashed on them.Did you see the article in Bike a few months back about Avon. They said that even old models of tyres are updated with new compounds and technology over their lifetime, so even if BT021s are still being sold, chances are they are different and better than the ones we remember from 6-7 years ago.I hope so. As everyone has said, they were not very good at all….
