Street Bob tires
It's time for swapping my tires on my 2014 Street Bob, after 10500kms my rear Scorcher31 is almost bold 
I'm thinking about the Michelin Commander II or the Pirelli Night Dragon...
Who compared both and can give me some feedback ?

Both are good, better than the Scorchers.
You're unlikely to get a definitive answer. Many opinions available on previous threads.
I have Commander IIs which I bought on the west coast for the return leg of a cross-Australia trip last year after my Scorchers wore flat. They claimed twice the lifespan of Scorchers, with less uneven wear. My experience (6000km in a straight line!) suggests the claims are justified. little flattening, plenty of tread left, cornering etc still sharp and predictable.
Also, I found the CIIs are better than Scorchers for grip in both wet and dry. They are cruiser tyres, so not super-grippy, but they are all around better than the Scorchers, for my needs.
Pirellis (I believe, I've not used them so can't speak from experience) are more sports-oriented, so may be better if you like hooning.
