Default Michelin Commander tire - your experience

I am wondering about your experience with Michelin Commander tires - I have never
used them and don't know anyone that has. Eastern Performance has closeouts on
rears for $59.95 and that's one third of what I pay for Metzeler 880's. Tnx in advance
for your response.

I put one on my RK and it was not a good experience..It was turning to dust.on my white bike it really was putting Black dust all over the rear of the bike..with 2000 miles took it back to the shop where I had ordered the tire from and they said that they had never seen anything like it..so they put me on a Dunlap..I really wanted to give it a try as I run Michelin's on my trucks with great results...

Maybe that's why their closeouts so cheap. Tnx you guys. Love this forum.
