Just put the new Pirelli Angels on the ST which replaced the Bridgestones. I'm not sure I like these? Did about 100 miles on them and the bile seems way less stable and gives the feeling of floating side to side at speed. I can even tell at 30 mph that there seems to be slight side to side motion through the front forks. Very disconcerting. Tire pressure set at the shop was around 38psi and they were adamant that was the correct pressure for the tire. Anyone else had this experience after a tire change?

I know you're just a month in, but how you liking the Angels?

Just got back tot his thread. I have about 2000 miles on these now and frankly I don't think they are a great tire for this bike. They do continue to have an unstable feel, but not all the time. I will most likely change them out and replace with another set of Bridgestones which were rock solid at all speeds.

Sorry to hear that ... But thanks for taking one for the team ! lol

Not sure if you have tried the PR2's, but I love them ! I'm sure my next set will be PR3's.

Good Luck
