I have the rear on my bike. It was ont eh bike when I bought it so I am not sure of the total mileage on it. I have put ab out 4000 on the bike so far and the tire looks great. I put the 110/90/19 on the front the first week the biek was here. I love the handling. These tires are sticky! The round on them is nice too. The biek falls into corners. You can't go wrong although the 70 seems kind of narrow b ut you gotta take what you can get as these tires do not come in too many sizes as of yet.

yeah if i can get a stock 19" wheel for cheap i might switch out the 21 just to change it up a bit...and get a matching commander front tire since the 21 is only an 80mm tire

I sure it will ride great, I just think it is an odd size. 10mm narrower than your usual 90/90/21.

I put front and rear Commander II on 09 FXDC. So far 1000 miles on them and working great.Same time I added True-Track and you wouldn't believe the difference.Tracks straight and on rails thru corners. Recommend to all Dyna owners.

I have the origional Commanders on my bike with about 7,500 mi. on them and still have 50% tread left. They changed the tread pattern when they came out with Commander 2, but I don't know if they changed the compound, or not.

We have a lot of wet roads in the Northwest and these tires handle awesome. I love these tires and won't be going back to Dunnies!
