Michelin Commander II Tire
#21
2014 Tk here. Stock Dunlops ran out at 15k. Put on the MC2's ran to 45k on the clock (30k on tires) replaced with another set of MC2's. Have 70k on the clock now. Front and rear at 4/32" (25k so far) can easily get another 5k before replacing again (30k)
Same comments on road feel. Much better feel.

Replaced my Dunlops with MCIIs at 12,000 miles. Only put 3K miles on them so far, but I'm very satisfied and I got them at a cheaper price than Dunlop. I won't say they are better yet. Really not a good judge of one tire being better than another. But based on my 3K miles and the cheaper price, I would buy again. Bought on line. I think I got one from Dennis Kirk and the other from Motorcycle Superstore. All together it was $302 for both tires.

He is exactly right. The original Dunlap on my bike got somewhat scary at times like, groves in roads, roads under construction, dirt roads and that dreaded 1.5 to 2" gap cracks, OMG. Commander II you can almost do the same roads with your hands off the handle bars (hypothetically).

Got about 4000 miles on the Michellins since installed... Rear seams great but not pleased with the front as I seem to get wheel bounce in the front especially on certain roads & at higher speeds. Maybe I need to have the balance rechecked?
Prolly go back to the good ole dependable Dunlaps next time around....

Getting good mileage on my MCII’s. I have 17,545 miles on the front, it has 2/32nd now and have 19,104 on the rear and have 4/32nd. I’m happy with that. I don't know about tar snakes, I feel 'em, but these tires do handle well in the mountains. The rubber on the MCII's almost seems like surgical rubber, high quality for sure.
