Revzilla tire review rates the C III's best tire of 2020. I don't believe everything I read, but found their review interesting.

Ironically, they rated the cruiser tire as the best of 2020. Where does the touring tire stand? I would be getting touring tires as opposed to cruisers. Unless they mean both.

Looks like they mean both --

The first big change is a split within the model line. On one hand, there’s the Commander III Cruiser tires. These are best suited to lighter V-twins and cruisers like Sportsters, Dynas, and Softails. Larger bikes set up for touring duty will want the appropriately-named Commander III Touring tires. Their tread patterns, tire sizes, and sidewall reinforcements are meant to match the needs of big bikes.
Splitting the Commander range was a smart move by Michelin. Now they can offer more specialized tires across cruiserdom, which means a better ride for all. Just make sure you order the right type for your ride. Regardless of which you choose, expect 20,000 miles or more out of these tires. That’s a lot of cruisin’!

I have Metzeler 888 Marathons on my 05 Electra Glide. I like them a lot. Those Michelin’s look like a nice tire.

I have Metzeler 888 Marathons on my 05 Electra Glide and love them. Never have had Michelin’s on my bike. But they look nice from the pictures and a few reviews that I have read they seem like a good choice.

Over 100k miles on these tires I've never had this happen.
