connie_rider said:The arrows are correct.

Rain is where the PR5s should shine gear up to stay dry be aware that no matter what tire you are on traction is limited in the wet ride safe and get out and test their wet weather capability.
With the right gear, "nobody likes to be wet and cold" I actually find a kind of zen riding in the rain.
I agree. Very good channel! :beerchug:Michael said:There's a Canadian motorcycle gear company called Fortnine (F9) that makes a lot of great videos on YouTube, I follow their channel, good stuff. They did one on motorcycle tire construction that answers this question very well.
