Pirelli Angel GT II 190/55 ZR17 M/C 75W TL Rear Tyre

The Pirelli Angel GT II 190/55 ZR17 is a high-performance tyre intended for use on public roads and is appropriate for riders seeking a good compromise between fuel economy, confidence while driving on wet roads and sporty performance. The version of the Pirelli Angel GT II with the 190/55 ZR17 M/C 75W TL specification is of radial construction, is fitted to a 17-inch wheel and has a 75W load index, hence making it suitable for high-performance motorcycles that need this particular rear tyre size and rating. Pirelli includes the 190/55 ZR17 among the rear tyre sizes offered in the Angel GT II range. The 190/55 ZR17 motorcycle tyre is designed for riders who carry out everyday road driving as well as touring, make long journeys on motorways and navigate corners quickly; thanks to its sport-touring design, it maintains a high level of performance without sacrificing the responsive handling that is characteristic of Pirelli tyres. The Angel GT II has a dual-compound rear construction in order to achieve a reasonable balance between durability and grip in different riding conditions. Compatibility is determined by the tyre size, the load index, the speed rating and the wheel specifications that have been approved by the motorcycle manufacturer. The 190/55 ZR17 size is used on several powerful sport, sport-touring and performance motorcycles and is available on various models such as the BMW K 1300 S, BMW K 1300 R, BMW K 1600 GT, Ducati Multistrada 1200, Honda VFR1200F, Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello and the Suzuki GSX 1300 B-King as well as on some Triumph bikes. It is necessary to check compatibility, in particular for the kind of bike and the model year before buying. If the rear tyre currently being used has reached its wear limit, exhibits signs of uneven wear, is no longer able to maintain traction, or is due to be replaced before a long journey, then the rider should think about getting the Pirelli Angel GT II rear tyre fitted. This is especially important for those who need a 190/55 ZR17 rear tyre for use on tours and for sport riding, in particular when wet-road performance, stability and long-distance capability are factors of concern. The main advantages are sure handling, excellent performance on wet roads, durable capabilities for sport touring, reliable behaviour on the road, and compatibility with the electronic rider assistance systems available on today's motorcycles. Pirelli says that the Angel GT II has the long-wearing characteristics of the Gran Turismo tyre but also features a sporty nature and an innovative tread design which has been influenced by the development of its Diablo racing wet tyre.
