I had a set of American Elites. I liked them. But they/cupped after 6,000 miles and created front end wobble. Now I’m in Commander 2s.

I went stock to the American Elites... nice change. Never tried the others so I have no opinion of them.

Went from stock to c 2's, now Elite's, thinking I like the Elite's the best, c2's weren't bad, but Elite's seem a little better to me,
