Pirelli Angel GT2 North America
« on: July 31, 2023, 02:39:35 pm »
I have just read an interesting comment on one of the American FJR forums. Apparently Pirelli no longer sell the Angel GT2s in America, when emailed Pirelli confirmed it but gave no reason.
This sounds like a subject for Rich to get his teeth into  :winkthumbs:

Having seen photo’s today of Toprak’s Pirelli they’ll be lucky to sell tee shirts never mind anything resembling a rubber tyre.

Oh dear, guess what I've got on the K?

Care to share the photos?

Any further feedback?

Oh, I missed that one Rae - apologies!

I'd like to think it was because they still haven't left Russia.

Pirelli fall into this category:
'Reducing Current Operations (156 Companies) (Grade: C)
Companies that are scaling back some significant business operations but continuing some others...

Michelin have exited. Good on them.

Feel free to spread the knowledge back to the FJR forum  :thumbsupgood:

Not a tyre (tire?) issue then, although now I have started reading "Pirelli Angel GT problems" online, I will never ride again!
