Best place I found hands down for purchasing tires is Motorcycle Tires Maniac
www.motorcycletiresmaniac.com
I talked to a technician there for more than 20 minutes as he listened to what I wanted for my bike. Give them a call and see.

If you can't do the actual install yourself, be sure and check with you local dealer/Indie before purchasing a tire online.
Most dealers and some indie's will not mount a tire that wasn't purchased through them.
Of course there are some that don't care where you bought the tire, but its always best to check first.
Just something to keep in mind when shopping.

- subscribed...time for me to replace my tires too.
I've been looking at the Michelin Commander IIs and Shinko 777...There is a fairly significant price difference between the two, which worries me. I'm familiar with Michelin tires, but have heard from a few friends who are running Shinko's that they are happy with them.
I've been having a hard time finding reviews of either tire from sources other than outlets that sell them. Anyone run either of these tires?
Thanks,
Dru

Thank you RSDUDA, that's what I was hoping to hear! Hopefully a few more people chime in, but that is definitely good to hear about the Command 2s.
Thanks,
