Someone here put Michelin Commander 2 on a Fat Boy ?

If you put a 200-55-17, Michelin Commander 2 on a Fat Boy, does it look like he seem to last longer than the stock one ?

Thanks

I have about 2500 on mine so don't know how long they'll last yet. They definately make the bike handle better though.

Pierre, essaye les.... tu verra ca dureras beaucoup plus longtemps...Je n'ai pas un Fatboy mais mes prochains Pneus seront les commander II... j'ai les Commander original sur ma machine (Electra glide) et je mets commes 10000 sur le pneus arriere...Michelin promets beaucoup mieux mileage avec le II donc c'est surement une situation gangnate...Vas-y. T'a pas grand chose a perdre...
L'autre option est Dunlop Elite III ???? si tu peut trouver le fitment...C'est le meilleur mileage que j'ai eu sur unpmeus arriere sur le miens.. je suit sure le dixieme pneus arriere depuis 2007. a 70000 miles..

Bonne chance.

J'ai un FLH avec les Michelin Commander 2 installés la semaine derniere, je m'informais pour la moto de ma femme, pour voir si quelqu'un avait fait mieux qu'avec les pneus d'origine..
Merci

I Put Commander 2 on my FLH 2 weeks ago, too soon to tell how long they last, but my Wife Fat Boy need rear tire often, they don't last long, i check here to see if someone put one of these Michelin on his bike...
our season start way later than many of you, someone may have put them sooner and can share info about how long they may hold up

Thanks again

Put a set on my 08 Fatboy...handle good not as sticky as the Metzlers..Handle much better than the Dunlops...so far have over 2000 miles most being two up and can hardly see a flat spot on the rear...I was just getting about 6000 out of the Metzlers or Dunlops..rear and the Dunlops no matter if the were the 407 or 408 cupped and I check my tire pressure often ...
