wow!! I'm almost to the wear bars at 4500 miles. 2011 flhp:-( the price of riding fast, I suppose.( Yes, the pressure has been correct at all times) At least it's better than my sport bikes where I would wear out the front in under 2,000 miles.
Dude, something is amiss here.
Do you unconsciously ride the brake, or what?
Maybe do a lot of panic stops from 70-80 mph?
if anything, the CII are a bit too response at high speed. It may be just a matter of getting use to them, I don't know yet.
I found this to be true when I first rode with my Commander IIs. A little disconcerting at first because they felt very very "touchy." But, after a few rides I got used to it and have never looked back. I really think they are a vast improvement in handling and rain performance over the old stock Dunlops. As for the mileage claim, stay tuned.
hey guys.. how about uptate.... MCII's or the Elite 3's.... i noticed my stock front tire at 19k Km need replacement and my rear still looks real good... I'm thinking best to do both at same time... I'm leaning more torwards the E3's from reading several threads..
just over 10K on my Michielin C-IIs.... I doubt I'll get anywhere NEAR the claimed 25k, But I'm still quirw pleased with the C-IIs. I thought the E-3s were grat, but these commanders are near perfect
Ok, I gotta chime in here. I have always been told the Dunlop 402's have extra strength in the sidewalls for touring bikes. I got a Commander 2 on the rear, and the a-hole at the shop got all bent out of shape, "You'll be lucky if it lasts a month!" Now, I get the fact that guy is a complete idiot and he's a big reason I don't go to that shop anymore. BUT, he is not the only one that has steered me away from anything but the 402. I like my Commander 2, but I don't ride heavy anymore, so I was told "you should be ok." Most you guys are riding newer bikes with bigger tires, but the design of the tires is what I was always told is different. What do you all say??
