Michelin Commander II update

[sonny]

I run Commander II's on the Harley and get 15,000 miles. If they made Commander's that fit the Roadster I would buy them in a heart beat. A really great tire. Good handling wet and dry. Really good traction and last forever.

Hmm I will have to try a set on my beast and see how well they hold up compared to the Rear Exedra Max and front 140 Avon Combo I run now.

I forgot to add that the Commander II's wear even. Three sets on the Harley and no cupping.

THATS crazy mileage whats up with that ?

Aramid belts and proper tire inflation, I'd guess.

Thanks for posting that! I was thinking about one of these for next time as I have been running car tires. I have yet to find a motorcycle tire that will go >5k miles on the rear.

YOU need to stop the

WELL I have a Commander two on the rear 18 inch carbon fiber wheel and it feels great now lets see how long it lasts

I'm still extremely pleased with the Commander II's on my bike. I run the 130-90R16 on the front. +1 for the better low speed maneuvering. Gotta love material science. Amazing that they can make a rubber compound that's tough like these are, while still providing a lot of bite in turns and in inclement weather.

Just finished changing out front 130/90/16 Michelin Commander ll bias tire at 38,460 miles installed at 9,250 miles it will be interesting ng to see if I get the same milage 29,000+ out of this one,hope so time will tell.

If it ever stops raining and gets above 50degrees I'll get to put on some miles to report!! Rode more in December than the last three months!! Of course 2 weeks from now I'll be complaining how hot and humid it is! Spring is tough near the coast!!

Do we have a helpful chart like this for the R3T ?

Never created one for the R3T as I ride an R3R.
I could possibly look into it . . . all it takes is researching the MC tire makers with the appropriate wheel and tire sizes.
