I have @ 500 miles on these tires. Previously I was running on Metzeler Z6 and now I can say that I am much confident in riding my bike; Good grip in wet condition and they perform excellent on NYC's roads. My cornering speed improved since I have this tires on...I already passed the corny no.5 lean indicator and now I'm going after the elephant(don’t laugh at my chicken strips, I'm waiting for the dry season to take down the elephant) :D
Also they warm up pretty fast; and hold up good while breaking hard (w ABS).
I'm really happy with my purchase.
Thank you Revzilla for your excellent customer service.

Icon PDX Waterproof Gloves If you were to make the riding season in Portland into a pie chart it would look something like a pizza with one small slice missing. The small slice is the time when it's not raining. The rest of the year is well, pretty much wet. Like the rest of our PDX line, the PDX waterproof gloves were made for the rain. Our biggest challenge was to make them waterproof without compromising dexterity and feel. Embossed neoprene flex panels in critical areas provide plenty of flex and pre-curved palm and fingers ensure great feel from your controls. The waterproof textile chassis with over-the-cuff gauntlets keep the moisture out. Protection comes by the way of abrasion-resistant palms and heavy duty construction. Waterproof textile chassis Abrasion resistant palm Embossed neoprene flex panels in critical areas Pre-curved palm and finger design Hook and loop closure system Over the cuff gauntlet Elastic at the cuff
How's the liner in this gloves? Do you think it will suit for @ 30 miles commuting in cold weather/rain?
Allways stuck in traffic...do you think it will hold in the rain for @ 1 hour?

How's the liner in this gloves? Do you think it will suit for @ 30 miles commuting in cold weather/rain?
I always get stuck in traffic and it will take me @ 50 min to commute 30 miles...do you think will hold that much in the rain?

Can you post a complete tire description? example120/70ZR17J (58W); I am tring to find out the load capacity or weight rating of the tire.
Additionally, all motorcycle tires are normally marked with three or four digit code on their sidewalls, which represent the date of manufacture (the first two digits are the week of the year, the last digit is the year of the decade it was manufacturered in).
Can you post thet too.
Thank you Revzilla Team
