Just put them on my Heritage last week..

56 miles so far and they still look NEW...

I am sold....




OK.. Let get serious..

So far with 56miles, I like them a lot better than the Lops I've have for the first 39K.

Best thing I like is they don't wonder on un-level roadways..

They just stay straight and on line..

The Lops 401's and 402's that I had till now always felt LOOSE on Un-level roads where the road surface was diff heights'..

For above reason alone I'd switch..

NOW if they Wear 1.5 to 2X as long... then that would really be Great..

All the Lops 401's rears I've had (four of them), 10k was the average... If I can get 15 to 20k on the Commander II's.... and they are only $20 more and are a better tire..Well then Dunlop better wake up and reinvent their tires IMO..
