I had an ST on a Multi when i bought it. It was ok and lasted well. The GT2 gave more feel and grip in my head and they are supposedly comparable to Road 5 :thumbup:
Yeah I think the Angel GT's, Roadtechs, Roads 5/6s, Road Attack 4's etc are all pretty much of a muchness. Modern tyres are bloody incredible, the road tyres feel like old sports tyres do but last twice as long. If I did some trackdays I'd get sports tyres but road tyres are more than good enough for me.

Been out on the GSXS this morning, a front tyre with more feel would be nice, but the rear is fine.

I was smarting at £500 for two pairs fitted to loose wheels (Pirelli GT on one set and Roadtec 01 to the other). :(

You need two more clicks of rebound to make the tyre perfect.


Oooops I'm not on the No Limits Faceberk page.
