At my 26,000 mile service I needed new tires (surprise surprise) and the shop recommended the Pirelli Angels for my 2006 Yamaha FZ1.

After riding on them for several hundred miles in both sun and rain, I can say that I am thoroughly impressed. They seem to have a slightly taller profile which leads to quicker turn ins and I have felt very confident in their connection to the road when well leaned over.

The remaining test is durability. I’ll have to wait and see how long they last.
