I have pilot road 4's on...(ditched the dunplops before it left the dealership)!
I'm on my 2nd rear, first one lasted 4000miles, it had loads of tread depth left but was starting to square off a tad! The front looks brand new still (minus the chicken strips)!
They warm up super super quick and are epic in the wet!

An absolute confidence inspiring tyre and I wud recommend them to anyone who wants a mixture of longevity and first class performance...

The original Bridgestones S20 lasted 3000 miles, good grip when warm, but take a while to warm up in winter. Handling good
Bridgestone BT023. Only done 1000 miles, still look like new. Warm up quick, grip very good,BUT very unstable over 100mph

I've got over 2,800 miles om my Dunlops and they're ready for the bin.
Actually very pleased with them in the dry but scarey in the wet. As a result of lots of recommendations i was going to replace 'em with PR4's but I have had my eye on the Pirelli Angels too.
Fly' get back with a review quick!

I took tt's tip and went for the pilot road 4s. early days yet but they feel much better then the bridgestones. just feels a lot smoother and confidence inspiring..

 

[trevorleigh]

I have the S20s, still loads of tread after 2500 miles, but I think I will try the pilot road 4s next time.

I ditched my Dunlops @ 3000mls and now have Metzeler Z8 interacts, had them on my Ducati excellent all round performance tyre with decent life regards Lou

Pirelli angels are the best tires out there in my opinion. Will be fitting some when mine are done

ah good to know, mine fitted Monday coming so will report after a good scrub in of course.

I fancy the Pirelli angels next. My mate has them on his street triple , gets his knee down on them and it's still an inch away from the edge of the rear tyre.

That's no good! People will mock your "chicken strips"

Getting your knee down is not all about how far the bike goes over I used to ride with a lad who had his knee down nearly every bloody coroner and caried hardly any speed

 

[scotscoot09]

True mate. But his old tyre (Avon same as mine)
Had no chicken strip at all and these have an inch either side.

Spot yer right mate

The Pirelli angels seem to have a slightly different shape but all the reviews I've read show promise

Are they scrubbed in yet?
What's the verdict?

 

[flydnb]

Not scrubbed in yet mate will let you know as soon as mate

Come on dude pull ur finger out lol

Have almost done 4000 miles on my S20s and they're still in good condition. I'm not pushing it hard and not doing wheelies so maybe that's the reason. The thread is still deep but I've noticed that the tyre is starting to look "cracked" in places. Not having owned bikes for long not sure if that counts as wear

Can take a pic tomorrow if needed.
