My C2's have begun to howl when leaned over, just like my Dunlops did. Some slight evidence of minor cupping, which may be the source of the howl.

I run mine at the max PSI listed on the tire.

I have about 8000 miles on my Commander IIs. Love the tires. They howl around sharp curves, but who cares. Great tire.

I assume you are referring to the stock Dunlops only, otherwise you're full of crap. I got 20,000 miles out of both the last two sets of Dunlop Elite 3s. I'm now trying the Commander II just to see if they are as good as the E3s.

Had over 24,000 miles on my Commander IIs. Great tires. Was going to have to replace them this Summer, so I traded the whole bike in for a new one.

This was my last MC II at 20,000
I put 6000 more on it before I changed it. Probably pushed it a little too far.
I will stick to them until they make a MC III
