Volfy Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 By the way, this was the only retailer who did not try to school me what tires to use on my bike... Sounds like they are the kind of retailer that should be rewarded with your business. Can't go wrong with PR3. I've had great experience with them. That said, I am gonna try the new RoadSmart II next on the VFR1200, just to try something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer luvtoleanit Posted June 18, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted June 18, 2013 Have BT023 GT's on and all i can say is nice, neutral handling and lots of grip, right over to dragging the side stand bracket. Thanks for chiming in. I got a new set of them last week that I'll mount later in the year. Chaparral had them for $238 shipped, which is a fantastic price.

Earthshake Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Since the OP asked about the Angel GT, you may want to consider this offer from Pirelli. Buy a rear, get free front. I think I'll give 'em a run. http://getpirelli.com/agt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer dadofseven Posted June 19, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted June 19, 2013 OEMs did the job on my track day. Gonna spoon on a set of PR3 s in a month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted June 19, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted June 19, 2013 A side note regarding PR3s. With the stock BT021s I checked the tire pressure about every 3 weeks- with little loss. The PR3s I check every week and am down about 4 lbs in the front and 4-6 in the rear. Not complaining, but I must say I got used to only checking every 3 weeks with the BT021s. Did the dealer replace the valve stems with new? If so, possibly used cheap valve stems. Order some 90* aluminum stems and be done with the crappy rubber ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer luvtoleanit Posted June 19, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hot damn that chaps my ass right there as I just got new tires delivered :( Oh well, this deal is going on most of the summer and I'll just buy another set for future use. I'm tire collecting at this point :D They are limiting you to one free tire only or I'd be ordering multiple sets. Great deal and price. Thank you for posting.

gloryracing Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 You better order right now or they may all be gone. The number of free available tires went from 78 to 32 in about 2 hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wera803 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 They only started with 250 free front tires to begin with. My GF and I both ordered a set today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volfy Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 When I signed up last night, there were still close to 200 left. I don't need new tires just yet, but at $190/per set, it's too good not to stock up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer BCmcrider Posted June 19, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted June 19, 2013 Well, that's done. Our Promotion allotment of 250 tires has depleted.

Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted June 19, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted June 19, 2013 So, I signed up, bought my rear from Jake Wilson at $167 and now what? I wait for that to arrive then submit the paper for the free front? Is that how this works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that how this works? If you recieved a claim # from Pirelli you are OK. E-mail proof of purchase(invoice from JW) and the pirelli claim number to admin@getpirelli.com. They will send you back an email with the info on how to receive your front tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted June 19, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted June 19, 2013 Gotcha...I can submit the paperwork before the tire actually arrives from Jake Wilson if I have the receipt? Sounds like a plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer luvtoleanit Posted June 19, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted June 19, 2013 I hate y'all (didn't notice a limitation on fronts earlier today only that it ran until 9/30). Notice to self, read the fine print!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted June 19, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted June 19, 2013 Yeah, they went quick after the post got a little steam. There were 42 left when I signed up and when I sent my son there 90 minutes later they were done. No joy for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parchedson Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 You have 14 days to provide proof of purchase. I wouldn't wait to long as I was confirmed at #254. Forgot to check jakewilson though, so I wound up paying $189.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volfy Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I picked up my rear tire locally for $173 OTD. Less than $200 for the pair is a smoking deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy captain, don't rub salt in the wound :( J/K. Congrats to you guys. I'll be anxious to read your ride reports on them as I've heard good things, such that these are actually good enough for a trackday running at 8 or 9 tenths. Corner Carver please do a full eval as I ride about like you (albeit probably slower). I've been pretty happy with my Diablo Rosso II's on my R1 and your combo of stickier front, ST rear might play well. Diablo Rosso II front, Angel GT rear. I really like the feedback of the Pirelli compounds. I like that everyone on this board seems to do good tire evals. I've got some S20's to test on the R1 and some BT023 GT's on the VFR.

Volfy Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Actually, the Angel GT I bought is an 180/55 for the SV1000, since I'd just picked up Roadsmart II for the VFR. The SV probably won't need new shoes for another 4k miles - possibly more - but what da heck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parchedson Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Got my tire in today. The GT feels much different than the PR3. I don't know how it's going to get the mileage as soft as it feels. I'll find out next season I guess. PR3s are brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Get the P.R. 3 . There is no better tire for the VFR out there unless you want to go with softer sport tires and replace'em every 3-4k. miles. I prefer the pr2 and the 023 gt over the pr3's...jus sayin'. I had the P.R. 2's and they were as good on dry pavement, The P.R 3's are a cut above anything else in the wet, so if you don't really drive in the wet often you might as well go with the P.R. 2's and save some $$$ ( In my opinion the P.R. 2 looks better to).

wera803 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Yeah!!! Just got an email from Pirelli. They said they are shipping the front tires for free now. Don't even have to pay the $25!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloryracing Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I adjust my prior statement....$179 for a 190/55 and a 120/70 set of new Angel gt's. Thanx Pirelli!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted June 26, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted June 26, 2013 Sent my info in last night, although my rear tire arrived Friday I have been sidetracked y other stuff since then... Not heard back from Pirelli yet. Free is better than $25.00 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
