How’s it going. I’m in need for recommendations of good set of tires. What’s you opinion on some of the better tire choices. Good riding in dry and wet. 🤘🏼

I have really been thrilled with Michelin commander 2's. I have a set on my dyna and have been going strong coming up on 15k miles. I am going to switch my softail to them when I need new tires

Dunlop Elite series tires.
Currently American Elite,Elite 3, or Elite 4.
They last a decent amount of time but more importantly the only time I got one to slip the rear tire was almost bald and the road was very wet other than that they grip.
IMO grip is way more important than longevity.

No idea but they last a long time and have been grippy enough for me

Avon has been my preferred choice for decades - got them on three V-twins, even our camper! Haven't tried their latest Chrome yet, but all previous ones have been just great.

Agreed. When I had the factory Dunlop's on mine, the front tire wanted to follow every little crease on the highway. The Commander II doesn't have this problem.
