I put them on the Road Glide after 50k miles with Dunlops, night and day difference in all road conditions including rain. Would not go back.

I ran them on 2 bikes for some years. 15 k on the rear is about right front could push 20k easy.

Mind ya I'm **** about cking tires and pressure.

THC talked me into trying Dunlop American Elite. Haven't got to many miles on these yet but I like them every bit as much as Commander II.

I was an Avon fan for years and years.

Commander II are at the top in my list.

I ran Dunlop D402’s for years, me and everyone I rode with got 5k on the rear, 10k on the front. I thought I was really doing something to find the Metzlers that out performed the D402’s AND would go 7500 rear, 15k front.
The Michelin’s sound like a real leap forward!

Went from the stockers to CII's on my '14 Super Glide. Handling was awesome, although they did feel stiffer. Maybe that's why they handled better. Traded the bike in on my '15 RGS before I could see what the mileage was.

As soon as the stock tires went on the RGS I went right to the CII's. Loved 'em. Awesome in the rain. Averaged 14k-16k on the rear, (that's with 98bhp/108tq to the tire) and 20k++ on the fronts. No complaints at all. Great tires.

My bike had the Harley Dunlop tires when I got it, although probably not the originals at 29k miles. Long story short, I switched the the Commander II's a couple of years ago and like them much better.

My favorite thing is that the Commander II's don't try to follow the grooves in the pavement like the Dunlops did.
