Pirelli have long been recognised for their strong presence in the
motorcycle tyre market, with the Angel range being one of their most successful sport touring line-ups.
Two of the most popular
tyres in this family are the
Pirelli Angel GT and the
Pirelli Angel ST – both designed to deliver a blend of sporty DNA and touring comfort.
While they share similarities, each tyre brings its own strengths in mileage, stability, and all-weather performance.
In this article, we'll take a closer look at how the Angel GT compares with the Angel ST to help you choose the right tyre for your riding needs.
Angel GT Overview
The Pirelli Angel GT is Pirelli’s highest-mileage sport touring tyre and the direct successor to the Angel ST.
Engineered as a true Italian Gran Turismo tyre, it has been designed for riders who regularly embark on long road trips, often with luggage or a passenger, and who prioritise wet-weather safety, stability, and long-lasting performance.
The tyre features a specific multi-radius contour design that creates a uniform contact patch on the road, increasing wear regularity and helping extend the tyre’s overall mileage.
A dual-compound construction for both front and rear tyres ensures an effective balance between durability and grip.
This delivers extra mileage while maintaining strong wet-weather traction – making the Angel GT a standout choice for long-distance sport touring.
