Tire A Dunlop Grandtrek TG4

Not enough owner reviews yet to extract themes.

Tire B Pirelli Angel ST

The Pirelli Angel ST is widely regarded as a dependable, versatile sport-touring tire that offers a strong balance of dry grip, stability, and longevity. While users generally praise its predictable handling and confidence-inspiring performance in varied conditions, some riders report inconsistent wear patterns and a noticeable drop-off in performance as the tire nears the end of its service life.

Pros

  • Excellent dry grip and cornering stability
  • Predictable and reliable performance in wet conditions
  • Strong longevity for sport-touring applications
  • Neutral and responsive steering characteristics

Cons

  • Rapid, sudden wear once the tire reaches the end of its tread life
  • Requires a brief warm-up period to reach optimal operating temperature
  • Inconsistent wet-weather performance compared to premium competitors
  • Potential for cupping if tire pressures are not strictly managed

Observations

  • Heavy sport-touring motorcycles, such as the Yamaha FJR1300, benefit from running higher-than-factory tire pressures to prevent cupping and improve responsiveness.
  • The rear tire performance is noted to be more stable and predictable when the motorcycle is loaded with a passenger and luggage, suggesting the carcass design favors heavier loads.

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.

Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
