Put the Michelin commander on
Put the commander on and went for a test run, so far so good . the difference is amazing , but in all fairness my Metz had 8k on it so of course the new tire with the dyna beads feels better. \\; will post wear results later. Now I am wondering if I should put the dyna beads in the front lop (has 13k on it) or should \\; I just trash it and get a Michelin for the front. what say you oh wise forum members.

The Michelin is much stickier than the lop. \\; If you ride aggressively at all (or get in an emergency situation) there could be a problem with your front in sliding out before the back end breaks loose.
I would get a matching Commander on the front asap...but that is just me.

Changing brand usually means changing both tires to get the same compount. \\; What is a half worn out front with a brand new rear. \\; Don't make any sense to me. \\; JMHO
