Tomorrow, I am having my second set of Pirelli Angel ST's installed on my 05 VFR800A.
My current Angels have 9,557 miles which I could probably push another 500 miles if
I needed to do so. I am not an aggressive rider, so I still have plenty of rubber on the extreme
circumference of my tires. Hope that helps someone.

I wouldn't recommend pushing them. Those tires go downhill FAST.

I'm looking forward to getting 10K on my Angel STs, but I'll believe it when it happens! Hope so!

I love the feel of my Angels, but I just got 4,725 miles on my Angel ST rear... granted I usually ride enthusiastically! Most of my rides are for 100 miles or more so my tires don't go through a lot of heat cycling. A very hard braking episode to a complete stop at the end of a 300 mile ride finally did them in... here's the evidence...

I got 9300 great miles out of my last set, switched to pr4 this time around.
