Michelin Commander
Hi all. Having a problem searching this one, so any opinions on the Michelin Commanders for my 07 FLHRS.
Stock Dunlops too hard & squirley over bridge grates, etc.
Thanks.

RE: Michelin Commander
i have a 140 on the rear of my 01 RK. have a couple of thousand miles on it and am happy. don't know what the final mileage will be i am used to getting 15K out of MU85 Dunlops due to the extra 2/32nd" tread depth.
RE: Michelin Commander
I've been runnin' the Michelin Commanders for about 1000 miles now.
I also used the Dyna Beads for the first time.
I can't tell you about wear yet however...
Handling is great in both low and high speed.
The ride is very smoooooth!
I feel the ride ismuch improved over the Dunlops.
Just an interesting point...the sidewalls appear much wider to me.

I RUN MICHELINS ON ALL MY BIKES- THEY ARE THE BEST TIRE OUT (MICHELIN PILOT POWERS ON CBR1100XX). MY COMMANDERS ONLY HAVE 3KMILES ON THEM BUT LOVE THEM. BETTER PERFORMING THEN ANY DUNLOP!

Are Michelins available for the 16" wheel? My dealer says no,but that's been a few months.

RE: Michelin Commander
Michelin Commanders have been my favorite set of tires out of all the ones I've tried. I got great handling and better mileage than with any other tire. The roadglide I bought last summer came with Dunlop Elite 3's on it...and the ride feels similarly good; but since I do not know when they were put on, I won't know the actual mileage they'll get. I may give the Elite 3's another shot; but otherwise it's back to Michelin Commanders.

RE: Michelin Commander
I live in these twisty mountain roads and will never have any Dunlops again. These Commanders got 8K on them and they are great handlin smooth ridein dont chase tar snakes and seem to be wearing as good as the Dunlop-s or better. And they have a good load rateing too!
