Pirelli or Metzeler Tires for Hyperstrada 821

I have found the Metzeler to be very stable. But they need a bit more input. On tight back roads they are not as crisp, but at higher speeds they stay put very well. I get about 5k miles with spirited riding.
Hope that helps.

My Roadtec's (Z8 not 01) have just come to end-of-life.
They were on the bike when I bought it so not sure how old they were - I got about 3.5k miles from what was left of them.
No complaints with them, but I can't compare them to any other brand. They feel sure-footed and stable even though very worn now.

I was aiming to get the angel gt2's myself, but got a pair of Michelin Road 5's for a bargain (new but old stock)

Review/ comparison site here gives the Metzler much better scores on everything except wear rate (Which is opposite of what I expected to see)

Cheers

You can always look on the tire for date of manufacture. For instance, a little oval shape with 23/21 in it means it was made in the 23rd week of 2021. The sign is usually only on one side of the tire and may be tricky to locate. I go for the Avon Storm 3D, having stuck with Avons for years. No complaints!

I installed a set of Dunlop Mutants this past summer and am very pleased so far. Very favourable reviews on the interwebs too, regarding feedback, longevity and price.

Been giving these a lot of thought for next season.
