Sports: Re: [DucatiST] ST Angles wear rate.

Robert,
I had the same experience. I only got 3800 miles on the rear Angel. I switched the rear to a PR 2 and have about 4500 miles on it and have much tread left. Also the grip is as good as the Angel. I run a Pilot Power in the front. The combo works great for me. I got the idea from another guy on this list or the Ducati.MS forum. (Btw I only get 2800 miles out of a Pilot Power rear. But very sweet!)

Here's my report on the Angel ST. After running 2 sets I've found I only averaged around 4100 miles on the two rears.

This number with quite a bit of 2 up riding. I also found that when the tire squares in the rear it will not be long before it

cores. The "low" milage (I consider it low) could have to do with our roads which are generally have a bit rougher surface

finish than many roads in other areas.

I decided to replace the Angels with Michelin Pilot Road 2s this go round and so far I am quite pleased with the Michelins.

Hi there to you all, I thought I might send a heads-up about the great mileage I've got from my 180/55 ZR17, ST Angle rear tyre. 9664 kms or just under 6000 miles. I know they were expected to get 6750 miles at 120mph average speed, yikes, but I'm not on a race track so am pretty pleased. It squared off a fair bit due to the straight roads in this area, which changed the handling characteristics, but not excessively. So I've just put on another one, and whats more it was $35.00 cheaper than the previous one, from the same dealer. I know the bike runs as though on rails anyway but the tyres sure did their job.

A happy player.
