I have the stock ‘07 rim on the back with the MU85/16 and the commander 3 is in stock but I have ‘15 sreetglide front rim and that on is out of stock everywhere I look so I may try the AE elites after reading this thread. I have been running the Metzler 888 and got decent mileage but have a few times where I questioned the grip especially on wet roads

There will be no shortage of advice here, that said, I have run stock dunlops for years with good results. YMMV.
