I'm real curious of the Date Codes on all ya'll's C3 tires......... road buzz or not. Mine are, F-1620 and R-1720. I'll be getting these put on like this week or next. Either way, before that upcoming 5,000+ trip next month.

I put a set of C-III's on my LImited, have only ridden a few hundred miles since, but no vibration issues. No complaints on handling, or anything else. So far haven't ridden them in the rain.

I just checked the new MC III I'm going to put on the front of my bike and the date code is 1120 so hopefully Michelin has fixed whatever was wrong.

Interesting. I've been running AEs front and rear, on my '08 FLHT, for YEARS, and have never had any problems with them.

I went to my dealer to ask about new tires, I was looking at the Commander III's. The service manager told me that 3 bikes with Commander III's had front end vibration. They replaced the front tires on the 3 bikes, Michelin requested them back for analysis. Looked like the replacements were OK so I am assuming it was a bad run or tires?

I'm hoping the same thing that's why I was curious about date codes on these tires.
