Default New Commander II's on

Just got the new Michelin Commander II's on the bike and took a short test ride. What a difference over the Dunlops. Handling is better and the bike doesn't follow cracks in the road now. The Dunlops had 12,000 on them, and the rear was so cupped I'm surprised it wasn't worse than it was.

I put MC II's on last year.
What a difference.
My crap stock Dunlops cupped at 7k miles.
It's like riding a totally different bike.

I too have those. Only about 4K on them but so far so good. But remember, any tire will feel better than a tire with 12k on them.... But I am hoping for more mileage than that on the tires as they are supposed to be a "high mileage" tire...
