15,000 miles on a rear tire? I barely got 6k on the Michelin Commander I had on the rear. At least with a 402 I can get 7500 on the rear hide.

Default Awesome ride. Feels like a new bike

Feels like a new bike, just got back from a 300 mi trip and this bike feels nimble, even 2 up... Never will I go back to Dunlops...

.I just put one on my bike front and it feels like a solid tire. Haven't broke it in yet. I ordered a rear also from motorcycle superstore

Talked to the guy in Lafayette at the display this weekend. Thinking about switching over and see how they work. Been running Dunlop's, but needing a new set again, and was impressed with them at the show....

I too just had a set of Comm II's put on - Been running Metzlers - From what I have read, these had pretty good reviews - Will be breaking them in soon - Headin' off to NM and see all the country - Hope these live up to the hype -

Tried American Elites and Metzler ME880's on the Ultra.. Prefer the Am Elites Better Mileage and Grip just as well .. For the FXR4 Love the Metz .. But after hear more would consider the Commanders ..
