Michelin Commander II Tire

I like the MCII on my '16 Ultra. I went out to Michelin to see what their inflation specifications are, at least as a starting point for the tire size on the bike. What they say is Fr: 35 R: 39.2 I've been targeting these numbers and have had no issues, excellent tire wear for ~10K miles, good handling, riding mostly solo. I have Legend front, Premium adjustable on the rear. I also run them on my Street Bob where I wish I had something a little more sticky. The Michelin rec for them, more narrow front tire, is Fr: 29.4 R: 39.2. Dressed for the road, I'm probably around 180.

Been riding my Commander IIs for about 2000 miles. I don't notice any significant difference in the ride. I thought my Dunlops felt pretty good and so do these. I bought them because they supposedly last longer and they were cheaper. Michelin is among the best tire companies so to get them at a relatively inexpensive price (comparatively speaking), was deal I couldn't pass up.

I'm on my 2nd set of MCll. The OEM Dunlops were worn at 13,720 miles. My prior set of MCll were worn at 15,723 miles. Now I have a fresh set of MCll installed last month on my 2015 Road Glide CVO.
Obviously to me the MCll lasted 2K more miles on the same bike. I also find the ride on the MCll tires more sure footed. Both front & rear tires wear out at about the same rate on my bike.
