Great tire

 

Michelin Commander II. Had them on previous bike and really liked them. Just replaced rear on my 2015 limited. Had 9500 miles on the stock tire and it still had some tread life left, but, it made load groaning noise every time I leaned in a turn.

 

My OEM's have 8000 miles on them and still look fairly new. I'll be goin' with another set of the same when the time comes.

 

Got 27,700 miles out of stock Dunlops on My 2012.Then switched to Michelin Commander ll.Great tire ,more flexible,smoother,grippier ride.Got 18,000 out of stock Dunlops on My 2014.Front tire cupped badly,causing noise as you leaned into turns.Switched to Michelin Commander ll.Great tire,noticeable improvement over hard riding Dunlops.Put 18000 on the Michelins and traded for a 2017.New Dunlops don't feel as hard as the 2014's,which used to slip out on turns if You hit a paint stripe.I will be switching to Michelin as soon as these cup.

 

Although my stock's on my 2014 Limited went 22,000, they were the noisiest tires, especially in turns, and were cupped bad. Not from tire inflation problems either. I went with the MC 2's, which now have 10,000 mi. on them, still looking good, no cupping, i will replace, when time, with the Michelins. Also better price

 

I liked the MC II's on my '09 SG. When I need tires on the '16 Limited I'll go back to them.

 

OEM Dunlops fine except for cupping issue. Replaced with American Eagle was better then OEM 'til rear found a nail. Thought I'd try the Michelin Commander II and really like these tires. The rubber feels like surgical rubber compared to the OEM Dunlops.

 

I got 20k out of my original OEM Dunlops.
The rear just slightly cupped, front still had allot of life left, replaced it anyway.
I just replaced them a few weeks ago, with the same ones.

 

+1 on the Michelin Commander II. Rides great and outlasts Dunflop.

 

Good feedback. I'll be replacing the stock tires with Michelin Commander II and see how they hold up. I ride hard and do a lot of twisties on and off-road so my tires do not last as long as most are claiming. I was down at the Dragon last week and did Teleco Rd. It's like the Dragon except it is one lane and all dirt and gravel. Yea, I know the 2015 Ultra was not designed for this type of riding but what the heck!
