Default Yet another Tire Post

Ok guys and girls I just bought a 05 EGlide and the rear tire was right at needing replaced and over the weekend I picked up a nail sooo I guess I will spend the money now rather than latter. The bike has Stock size Michelin Commander II (140/90 b16 rear 130/90/b16 front)
Stay with the Michelin or go to another brand and which brand. I know this has been asked a thousand times but just curios if anyone has had something change their minds.

Thanks

That was a quick debate.

I get my Commander 2s put on my Slim on Wednesday. So hopefully we both made the right choice.

Heard great things about them here.

I went to Michelin Commander IIs last month. I have put 2000 miles on them since mainly in Northern AZ and CO riding and I love them. Good choice.

Same here, Wing. I can't believe how much better they are so far than the Dunlops.

I keep thinking some flaw will be revealed, but so far they are great. Glad you didn't have to experience the Dunlops.
