Thanks everyone for all of your replies. I decided to go with the Commander II's after gathering more data from other forums. It seems many are impressed with the new tire design, so we'll see. The Dunlop Elite's looked very good as well. Can anyone recommend inner tubes for front and rear as well as where to purchase them? Thanks

Not to start anything, but here is the info on tubes........
When punctured, oriental tubes have a rubber compound that "star cracks" and loose air quickly. Euro tubes simply puncture and loose air at a slower rate.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Just put a Bridgestone 180/70-16 Exedra Max Radial on my FXDF....holy cow it's good and $120NZD cheaper than the Michelin. I used Continental's on my old Lowrider but with our Volcanic chip road surfaces down here even a cast iron tyre would grip.
