Default Replaced the rear tire on my couch.....

I put a Commander II on the rear of my E-glide and took it for a ride this afternoon through some twisties. Wow! what a difference from the Dunlop. Maybe it is just the fact the Dunlop was wore (65%) when I bought the bike but damn the bike acts so much more like me, I'm impressed.

Just wanted to share. I'm done now.

Carry on.

A new tire over a worn tire is a huge improvement. I think that is part of the negative perception of the OEM Dunlops. I install the OEM tire on my Harleys and notice a huge improvement.

Your couch has a rear tire?

Ya look at that pic in his signature. That thing looks almost as comfy as the couch in my living room.

It very well could be. I know I sit on it more than the one in the house.
