Pirelli Angel GT No.1 For mileage?

[Shifu]

... and talking to riding mates here 6k is the absolute most you can reasonably expect from any decent road sport tire. People like to claim ridiculous mileage like in a pissing contest - you are right there. 20K claim is the purest form of BS in existance. Doubt if you get that pushing the bike on a road.

What a load of crap Andrew. I have been keeping detailed records of every dollar I have spent on my bike since I brought it home from the dealer and all mileage to correspond. I replaced the original tyres at 6791 kms with pilot road 3's and they were replaced with Angel GTs at 23933 kms. According to my trusty calculator, that's 17142 kms. Call me a bullshit artist if you wish but I don't really give a rats arse. Maybe it's just the fact that I ride like a granny as has been suggested by some wanker I have never met or ridden with. All I can say mate, is you must have some really abrasive road surfaces over your way.

Well, I am only stating what my experience is and what my mates tell me which is pretty much same thing. It is true that the pressure is a major factor (usually I run 36-38 front and 34-36 rear) and I use mostly good sport type tires but what I am saying is that the difference between 2.5K and claimed 17K or more is too massive for the riding style or the compound hardness explanation. I got P3 on now and if I get 5K out of them I will be in a tyre heaven.
