About a year ago, I put a set of these new (at the time) tires on my Ultra Classic. I promised to give a report after logging some miles.
After over 10,000 miles, in extreme heat, cold, and also wet weather, I like the tires. And they seem to be living up to the claims of long tread life.
These are on my Ultra, and I will stick with Metzlers on the Sporty, but I remembered I would report back on the Michelin Commander II
same here, I have about 1,000 miles on mine so far and love them! I rode in the mountain twistes for the first time last weekend and they performed flawlessly...........diving in and out of corners.
If you're looking for high mileage tires with a good grip, you may want to consider the new Metzler me888's. They're new for 2013. They seem to be getting very good reviews. Just put a pair on my Sporty.
I installed the Commander II about a month a go, it hasn't been on the road yet. Had I known where it was made I'd have gotten a Dunlop Elite III instead. But as handsome Harry Clay said, "I gotter boy".
Perfect timing on the report back. i just read the original post the other day. I'm tossed between the Commanders and the Dunlop Elites. The Commanders are starting to win the positive feedback polls.
Wel i have 7700 on my stock dunflop, it might have 2/32nd if i check it before i ride it again. Front one is more than half tread left , but i am trying to deside what kinda tire to put on mine. Is the michelin noticabley more narrow, i am ready its about 15mm slimmer and i just dont know if i will like that. i need a mileage tire though.
