Michelin Commander II vs. Dunlop D407/8
The time is getting very close for me to purchase new tires for the Dresser. I currently have the Dunlops on the bike and have been pretty much satisfied with them, with the exception of the replacement cost. I can find the Michelin's on sale for a lot less.
Michelin makes some serious claims regarding their new tires.
Has anybody switched to them?
What is your impression of the tire?
I don't expect any mileage reports yet, because they're new to the market, but Michelin claims double the mileage over the Dunlops.
Here is a link to the Michelins.

Thanks and ride safe,

AmericanMotoTire has Michelin Commander 2s for $288.13 for the pair, Metzeler 880s for $296.52, Dunlop Am Elites for $316.03, & Avon Cobras for $318.57. They beat Jake Wilson & Dennis Kirk on price, although DK will beat all prices by $1/ tire if you wait for their reps to look up prices. I think I'd have to go with the Michelins.

Do you have the original Commanders? I know they had a much softer sidewall, something they supposedly changed on the Commander 2s. How long have you had them on?

I just purchased the Michelin Commander II from Motorcycle Superstore... 295.98 for my 09 Ultra to my front door. The local HD Dealer wanted 660.00 for front & rear Stock Dunlops, but I did not like the way mine road and I complained, now they are telling me there was a recall on the front tire... but no thanks I will try something different. I was a Metzeler guy too, but I had two tires get goose eggs on the sidewall, so I have no alliance to any one brand. Local shop will mount, balance and install on my scooter for 50.00 each so I already saved enough to make it worth checking out!
