Michelin Commander II update

I have more than 21,000 miles on a Commànderll 139/90/16 front and a couple of thousand left on my 13'R3T.Expected to get at least 20,000 out of rear,but when it was on the dyno 2"-3" chunk came out of it. The tire had about 17,500 miles on at the time with quite a bit of tread left.The rear is 185/65/16.
 


@Fingers Did you notice any handling difference between the radial and bias ply tires?
 
@BillB No handling problems at all,I still scrape floorboards from time to time and I do ride aggressively at times.@TriumphPhil can confirm that I ride hard at times .
 
Yes he do!!! Fingers is a well practiced and elegant rider, if I say so myself.
 
I have had experience with the Commander II on Harley's. Great tire. What are you running as the mate for the Commander 180-65-16? I don't think Michelin makes a front tire yet.
 
The 130/90/16 Commander ll it's taking a couple hundred pounds off the front for low speed maneuvering.
 
Time to change out the Commander II. 19400 miles on the rear. Dennis Kirk has them for $183.00. Should be here Monday. Never thought I could get this many miles on a tire. Could probably get another 1000 out of it but don't think it would perform very well in the rain.
 
Yeah time to retire that one,I had 17500 on my rear when it threw a chunk out while it was on a dyno.I have over 26,000 on my front any probably has another 1,000 miles left before changing it out.
 
THATS crazy mileage whats up with that ?
