about the Angel, 2 mates on Multistrada's both, prefer them above the PR4's.
But the Mutlistrada then also seems not to prefer a Michelin front tire (my dealer said today). No idea why.
I can't put up the budget for 2 new tires at once scheme anymore
Too much budget would go wasted.
1.9 rears for each front atm. Sport tires.
Sport rear tire lasted 2400 km, sport touring rear tire 3400-3600km (PR3 & Z8), so Squidus his 1.5 ratio seems correct (under spirited riding).
On a positive note my last sport rear tire lasted 3000km. those few slippy rides at the end of the season seems to be a heaven's gift for tire life
about the sport vs sport touring discussion, i see a lot of mileages where I would guess the rider would be better of with sport touring tires.
They have great grip & great feedback.
Not to nag about usage, each his own, but if you get +6000km out of a sport tire, then I guess you are not using its full capacity & would feel not so much difference with a sport touring tire.
That is my honest opinion, based upon my riding style when I still did 3700-3900km with a PP3 (& did not use its full grip capacity) (and 6800km with a PR3)
To each his own ofcourse, & tire confidence may not be underestimated, nor will it be judged.
I'm silently wishing that my tire mileages would improve too, the holy crap factor is long gone, and now it really starts to weight on the budget. (brakes & other stuff too).
Even my gloves seem to wear off faster then the average.
