Tire and m/c technology continues to move a fast pace and one of the best examples is in the sport touring segment. For example the Kawasaki Concours 14 and Yamaha FJR1300 are important bikes in the segment, and both feature some innovative electronics & chassis designs, and both have very powerful engines and carry a far bit of weight. What this means to Pirelli and you is tire design must be better than ever to provide the level of handling needed but still reward the rider with respectable mileage. We do this with new compounding and carcass designs but what means to you is great wet and dry handling and long mileage.

While most riders will see somewhere between 4,000 and 7,000 miles on these tires, some riders like Nick T. in So Cal. reported a shade over 9,700 miles with a set on his Concours 14. How did he do it you ask? Well running 40 psi front and 42 psi rear certainly helped but he told us he gave up nothing and the Angel ST and they out preformed the OE tires by a large margin!

Why are they called EMS tires? EMS (extended mileage sport) means the tires handle as good a true sport tires but give more mileage like a sport touring tire. So they make sense whether you ride a CBR600 or a Hayabusa to help you get more smiles for more miles. Yes they offer excellent value at a competitive price, and proven performance confirmed by this tidy fact, the new FIM 24-hour World Duration Record is now 3192.5 miles with a average speed of 132.9 mph on one set of Angel STs. So we have to ask what are you waiting for?
