PIRELLI Angel GT Tires Going Out of Production?

[suhawk305]

My Honda Dealer Parts Manager ordered Angel GT tires for both his and my CB1100s. After a couple of months of searching, with all his sources, the rear 160/60R18 tire out of stock. Today, the Parts Manager was told that Pirelli Angel GT is out of production. He was told to try after several months to see (if or when?) the GT Angel goes back into production.

Not good news at all, Suwawk!
Had to wait 3 months for my front one.
All my CBs have brand new tires, three are A-GT, one is Z8

There's still the Bridgestone T32, which is turning out to be an awesome tire so far!

Bridgestone T32 on my bike, no difficulty to source down under.

Easy to source in the US too.

Thanks MrP and NRTM for the recommendations. The Parts Manager also recommended, and ordered the Bridgestone T32 for me.

Aww, c'mon, out of production?

It's like the old George Carlin line:
"You know those car door handles where you put your hand under the handle just a little bit to open it? Don't you like that? They're not gonna make that any more. Why?
They found out we like that."

Update:
Hopefully I was wrong about Angel GTs going out of production. According to Parts Unlimited, the rear 160/60 tire will be available June 17th.
Sorry about the “Chicken Little” warning.

I went with Bridgestone last Spring, fine so far.
