I have ordered them from Pneus Online. Normally I check the pprice on the web and then ring Bob's Tyres. Bob can usually get them in for a couple of quid more but this time the best he could do was £30 dearer.  He can't get them for the price I paid and to supply only he makes £8.

I decided to start fitting my own tyres when I got the K1200S and had visions of a tyre fitter smashing a tyre pressure monitor. Have heard of many cases where this has happened.

I like to keep a spare rear wheel with with a brand new tyre on it. Always like to start a tour with good tyres. How many of us have gone on hols and come back with bald/illegal tyres?
As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everybody is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Thinking of getting Angel GT front & Angel GT A rear for my 1300GT - found the front for £80.65, rear for £101 DELIVERED!

There is an Angel GT II listed - presume this is a new version? Not an A version but £133.

They produce an (A) rated front too.

Yup, extra £7. Still a v good bargain:
https://alltyres365.co.uk/Tyre/motorcycle/8019227249729/Pirelli+Angel+GT+A+120/70R17+58W/

Maybe a new version is dropping the older tyres price?
(Edit: the Angel II doesn't seem to come in a large range of sizes, so maybe not. Or not yet, anyway.)

Me too.

I do my car tyres and off-road bike tyres as well. Fitting Bib mousses into a 120/18 enduro tyre is about the most difficult I've found so far.

I used Pirelli Angel GT's on my Kawasaki 1400 GTR and Versys 1000  and have nothing but good to say about them. Good grip, long life and warm up quickly.

There are a few threads about Angel Gts and they all come to the same conclusion  ;)
I have tried a couple of tyres since the Angels GTs, Avon Spirit ST and Bridgestone T30 Evos both good and more than adequate tyres.
However weighing up performance, cost and mileage I think I'll be going back to the Angel GTs at the next tyre change. The extra mileage outweighs the extra cost.

Ditto. I'm running a pair of Metzeler Roadtec 01 at the moment (I was tempted by a £40-50 saving).
They're good, but not quite as good in terms of feel in the dry as the Angel GT A pairs that I've had previously.

I'll probably be going back to Angels too.

What do you mean with this (A), Rae ? I'm right now looking for tyres too (probably in another size, but then again), and see these 2 :

https://www.bandenleader.be/motor-band/pirelli/angel-gt/180-55-zr17-73w-87186
I guess the second one is the (A) you're talking of, but I don't know what the difference between the 2 is meant to mean ?
There are I0 kinds of people : those who can count in binary, and those who can't...

Sudolea,

The A means there are 2 radial plys (plies?) in the tyre, not 1, so it has stiffer carcase for heavier bikes (recommended for the S and GT).

Alltyres365 is cheaper. On looking further, they are actually a German company but deliver to the UK.

The (A) rated tyres have stiffer side walls for heavier bikes.

What I particularely like about the Pirelli Angel GT is that it lasts well and somehow maintains it's profile even when it is coming to the end of it's life.
As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everybody is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.
