Volvi this is probably a bit of a personal choice on the Angels as I know some guys that have had them on the Busa and hated them that much that they didn't even do a 1K on them and got rid of them but on the other hand I've known guys to run them on other brand bikes and swear by them and also got reasonable mileage out of them (10-15K).
Guys as for the claims to mileage etc it really depends on your riding style I know a guy here in WA and rides to the conditions and is not totally opposed to opening it up from time to time but is very smooth with the way he brings the power on etc and got 24K out of a set of Road 2's and is now running a set of Road 3's and has got over 12K on them already and they don't even look half worn.
A lot of guys over hear are running the Mich Rd 3 and are extremely happy with there performance, durability and still managing to get half decent K's out of them 10K + and one of these guys is no slouch in the seat and even he's impressed.
I would have agreed with Shifu in one respect is if you want performance and grip etc well you would run a softer tyre to suit what you wanted but I would have to say I've changed my mind on this and I'm only an average rider when its all said and done.
I to have been through several tyres the 1st 2 sets I managed to get 4.5 to 5.5K out of them but wasn't totally happy then I chewed through 3 sets of tyres in less than 8K with only one rear not even getting 1900k's as people that know saw on one of the Busa Runs.
But this is where I changed my opinion about the slightly harder tyres I saw a couple of guys do a track day and couldn't believe the performance that they were getting from these type of tyres and since then have tried one myself. I have now got the Avon Storm Ultra 2 on and are very impressed which I had on the last Busa Run. These new type of dual and in some case triple compound tyres that are available are now offering a really good tyre that can give people a very good performance tyre whilst getting some good mileage so I would have to say give them a go if there not your cup of tea fair enough but I've certainly changed my opinion on this subject.
My last comment on this subject would also be regardless of tyres that you maybe running tyre pressures are everything when it comes to performance and durability and the type of riding that one may do as this can impact quite significantly on how the tyre performs and how the bike behaves under you so don't forget about this part of the equation and that one is a whole different subject and people certainly have there views on this one...
One thing that I did forget to mention though is that I'm running these types of tyres on the rear whilst running the softer front and love the combination.
Anyway that's just my thoughts and when it's all said and done it comes down to personal choice.
