Default Time For Tires 01 RK

It’s time for new tires for my 01 RK. I had used Dunlops for years until I had one start splittIng inside of the tread in lass than a year. The shop replaced them with Michelin Commander ll which has healed up good. Now it’s time to change tires and I’m wondering if I should just stay with the Michelin Commander ll or move to a different brand. What are people happy with?

I have a '06 Police Road King, When I bought it ,it had a set of Pirrelli Night Dragon tires on it. They were the best handling tires I think I ever had on a bike. I was really happy with them but the only issue was their age, they were 10 years old, and starting to crack on the sidewalls. So I went looking for another set. Nobody had them in stock at the time (three years ago), so I went with the Dunlap elites. If you can get a set now of Pirrell's, you won't be disappointed.,,

I just recently installed some Avon Cobra Chromes, l am blown away by the handling and the ride, very compliant it's almost like I upgraded my suspension, 0 complaints.

Ive been running AE/AE2 tires ever since they came out, happy with them. Put hundreds of thousands of miles on them.
