Anyone any experience of Michelin Road Pilot 3 or Pirelli Angel ST and can recommend either or another good alternative for an all year round tyre?

Just my warped humor but, "All round tyres required" should perform far better than "All square tyres".. .. .. Blah

With everyone here on the PR bandwagon, how do they do in the turns? i.e. turn in/fall in? Are they predictable? All I see is "good traction and lots of miles!"
How do they perform in the other areas? Thanks in advance!

I'm from the Battlax crowd and haven't ran anything else. ^^ Same - about ~ 7000 miles from sport tires and they're done. The BT016-Pro's are like a glue stick of street tires but Chip-Tar roads just destroy them. I equate them to the "point and shoot" of tires. Great feed back, but not too much. They have steel and nylon belts if anyone is looking. PR's have steel belts?
I love how they handle, perform, turn-in, stop, transition - all of that. So I'm greedy and want that and more miles before replacement. Rear is shot (an 023). Maybe I'll switch teams....
I had BT016's before swapping to Michelins. I only got 4,500 out of the BT's! I do ride a lot of tar and chip asphalt. The BT's did feel great leaned over but so do the Michelins. If the Roads will give me 8,000+ miles they are well worth the slight bump in price point.
Fronts - 6500, rear 4500. Fronts loose the side and turn to needles (think pointy triangle shape tire) and the rear blows the center. I'm hard on the nose with brakes into the corner tho.
Rep - point for ya. Giving a direct cross over from BA to PR!
Still running the stock battlaxes lol but I just bought Dunlop Q2s so I'll see how they do. My OEM tires just won't wear down but I know they're unsafely old. (8000+mi but obviously from 2007, so maybe even a 2006 production date :O )
