[Avon Cobra] Pirelli Angel ST
Sport-Touring Angel ST This new generation of Extended Mileage Sport (EMS) compound tire is designed for maximum safety and feel in wet/cold conditions without compromising dry grip. Its front and rear profiles are tailored to deliver neutral and smooth handling on the latest generation of sport and sport-touring bikes, and the E Spec rear offers improved mileage for Yamaha FJR1300s and other large sport-tourers. The Angel ST replaces the Diablo Strada and makes use of an advanced compound designed for excellent wet grip and durability. Pirelli says it set a durability record on the Nardo racetrack in Italy, where one set of Angel STs completed more than 5,000 kilometers over a 24-hour period. Other: The Sport Demon is a bias-ply for touring, and the MT 75 is for small and medium-sized touring machines. pirelli.com/tire/us/en/motorcycle.html
