“Motorrad“ test of tour tyres: Big point for Pirelli Angel GT

The “classic“ Angel GT still dominates.

Because of top performance on wet roads, the Pirelli Angel GT turned out to be the test winner in the tyre test of the medium “Motorrad“. The Dunlop Roadsmart III achieved the same amount of points. Nonetheless, the Dunlop tread is not that fond of wet weather. Due to an excellent mix of stability, sportiness and safety on wet roads, the Pirelli Angel GT is the winner and proves that a relatively “old” tread is still able to dominate a comparison test.

Now, however, it has become quite obvious – for sector participants THE TIRE COLOGNE will be “the place to be“.
