Question Michelin Commander II's (Best Site)

What is the best site to buy a set of Michelin Commander II's?

I thought about going with an 18" spoked rear wheel but now I am thinking about going with two new mags (instead spoked front and back) and two new tires.

Just starting my research but according to google, the tire prices are all over the place.

I thought better than ordering from an unknown site, those that have the Michelin Commander II's, where did you buy them from?

Ok, another dumb question...

I have a stock Dunlop D402F MH90-21... which Michelin Commander would I purchase that would fit my stock rim? A Michelin Commander II 80/90B21 Front Tire?

Have not compared the Commander II's but Jake Wilson is usually very competitive for bike tires. Going to be needing some for my Limited before spring. Looks like Dennis Kirk is similar price for my bagger tires. Cannot answer size question.

Motorcycle Super Store, or J&P. These are going to be your best bet.

OK, I saw both of those but was hoping there might be a site that would be less.

Dennis Kirk, less then $300 for the pair, but that was a few months back.

Try competition accessories or bike bandit... My last choice would be amazon. All of these sites are going to be very close, have you tried a local non Harley dealer as it seems like Harley dealers are still stuck on selling dunlops.

My local indy got me my rear tire last year $20 cheaper than I could find it anywhere on the net. It's worth checking out. Now that I have the new (to me) bike, I need another one. Hopefully they still have the same prices.

My indy got my rear for 148.00 plus 30 for install. Let me know if you sell the rear rim...
