    Yes! I installed them this morning and there real nice! I did about 185 miles.
    35 miles of twisty's and the rest was to and from the hills. They seems to turn in a little slow but grip great and feel better than the old Metz Z6 tires I've been using for the last 2 years. The angels seem to suck up a lot of road bumps and make for a comfy ride.

    Not much else to say, I'm happy with them. If any weirdness pops up, I'll report!:smile:

    Now you just need to get out and try em in the rain/wet. I am sorely in need of tires. The Metzlers that came as OEM are done. They did not stand up to 4500 miles of commuting and fun riding. Biggest problem was the flattened out, so I am thinking PR2's as a solution to that issue, but I have always had good luck with Pirelli. Sport Demons on my 750F handled commuting with no similar issues.

    Just bought a set of Angel STs today. Was a bit dubious about the kitch marketing drivel but found that they were the cheapest in town (Pirelli? Cheap?) and in today's economy I had little choice. Set cost ZAR2100 fitted (around $280) as opposed to Michelin Pilot Road 2s at ZAR2500 and Battle-Ax's at ZAR3100! Still busy running them in so will comment on findings later. I will say the original OEM Battle-Ax's didn't inspire confidence in cornering but this may be a case of a bad workman blaming his tools. We'll see.
