Pirelli Angel GT 160/60 ZR 17 (69W) TL - Rear

The Pirelli Angel GT (160/60 ZR17 (69W) TL is a premium, high-performance radial rear tire tailored for mid-to-large-displacement sport-tourers, naked sports bikes, and commuters. Developed under the "Gran Turismo" concept, it focuses on maximum mileage capacity, high stability under full loads, and confidence-inspiring grip. This tire serves as the standard rear application for riders searching for reliable performance on cross-continent road trips and all-weather daily rides. 

Unlike the front tire, this rear tire utilizes a dual-compound setup. The center strip uses a high-mileage, structurally reinforced rubber compound containing roughly 20% silica to fight flat-spotting on the highway. The shoulders feature a high-silica compound optimized for maximum chemical grip and safety at aggressive lean angles.

Features a robust carcass design built to withstand the demands of long trips with a pillion passenger and loaded hard-case panniers. The tread design effectively mitigates uneven pattern wear, giving the tire predictable handling from brand new down to the wear bars. 

The tread grooves are explicitly patterned to clear massive columns of standing water away from the contact patch. The design ensures structural flexibility and surface compliance on damp, slick, or cold roads, minimizing sudden slides.
