Both good tires, but between the two the Michelins are going to get you better mileage on that big bike. I run Avons on my Softail because of the white walls being available, but if Michelin made WWW's I would be using them...

I just had my first set of Michelin Commander 2's installed, but I haven't been able to ride because of snow.

What sort of input would you like?! Every major tyre brand makes suitable tyres for your bike and they all have their supporters on HDF. I've owned Harleys since the '70s and usually use Avons. If you wait long enough the other brands will get a mention as well! If you use Search for each of those brands you will get a lot of results, so make your choice or toss a coin. You'll probably be happy with either or both of them.
