Default Commander II

So I installed one yesterday, and put on about 100 miles on it , I like how it feels, I hope I can get the mileage out of it that is claimed.

Michelin Commander II look it up , they are claiming 25k on a 130 size tire, if I get 20k out of it that is money in the bank.

I think these will be my next tire as well. They actually have a 200/17/55 for the rear and a 21" for the front. Heck, I figured they can't be as bad as the 8000 mile metz I have.

+1 here too. I am currently riding on Michelin Commanders, and really like them, but I only get 8-9k miles out of the rear tire. Looking forward to the Commander II'S.

Do you have the IDS on your 07 Street Glide. I noticed a real improvement in rear tire mileage when I installed the IDS on my 07 Ultra. I currently run Dunlop Elite 3's and like them. I get around 15,000 miles out of a rear. Look forward to hearing what folks get out of the Commander II rear.

No IDS, I heard that Mod really helps tire life. I should look into upgrading that.

Yeah I just put the Commander II's on my bike and took it out for a spin. I believe it rides a little smoother than before with the Michilin Scorchers. And in the corners is a vast improvement, no humming vibrations whatsoever. Grip seems to be as good if not better than before, and I really like the graphics printed on the sidewall. Now if they will last as long as they claim. That is if I don't continue periodically to run over these damn sheet metal screws in the road.

I am having these installed on my bike as we speak. Are the graphics black blending with the tire? Hope they are not white.
