Last change I switched to the Michelins and I love them, much better handling. I have about 3,000 on them so far and no signs of wear.

I switched to Michelins on my Ultra about 300 or so miles ago, really love them. The Dunlops had the issue with the tread scalloping, and mine did it on three Dunlops, so no more Dunlop for me. They were not available in a white wall though, but now I like the look anyway.

I have 19,000 miles on my E3's and absolutely no complaints. Also been looking at the Commander II from Motorcycle Superstore. They also have a feature to find preferred installers in your area.

I just put a 200/55-17 commander II rear tire on last weekend. I didn't notice any drop off in handling from the Metzler 880s I have been running. I still have the Metz 120/70-21 on the front. Don't have a commander 2 in that size. Rode about 200 miles after scuffing the tire up a bit. Felt good at speed above 110, cornered well on a variety of road surfaces. Had a tough time breaking it loose in corners. I'm happy so far.

They have a thicker sidewall than stockers so thats good enough for me.

I have 5200 miles on my C2's now and am still loving them. Guy who parks next to me at work just put a set on his bike and while we didn't actually measure, there was no noticable dif between them. We got a 2000 miler coming up in 2 weeks and I will see how they look then. Bought mine at competition Accessories on line and got a better price than i have seen anywhere else and I did lots of looking before I bought mine. Was pissed when the original commanders went away and went thru 2 sets of Dunlops waiting for a replacement, needless to say, i am VERY happy with the C2's!!!
