A spec vs. D spec

[Richouse]

I've already decided that my next set of tires will be the Pirelli Angel GT's. I was planning on using the "A Spec" tire for the stiffer sidewall. While shopping around I also found a "D spec". Upon searching I can't find any info on what the D Spec is... Does anyone here know what the difference is between the A and D spec??? Even stiffer sidewall???

Thanks.

made for lighter sport bikes I think

The A spec is for heavier sport touring bikes.

It is recommended for the FJR.

I believe I read once the D spec was a Ducati OEM tire.

I have about 6000 miles on my GT's (non A spec) and they are wearing well. Minimal flattening and handling has been consistent.

Guessing I have 2000-3000 miles to go with the rear.

I just got a set of the Angel GTs. I got the A spec rear tire as well. So far, I like the handling a lot. And I'm coming from an R1, so I'm spoiled when it comes to handling!
