Every company says that about a new product, and professional product reviews always agree to a large extent. I'll wait to see what people say here before I buy advertising claims. JMO

Been threw 2 sets of E3's and loved them. Just getting into my first set of MCII'S and like them every bit as much. Don't know yet about longevity. However, the handling is superior to the E3's by a little bit.

Bought a Commander II last year and have 10k on the rear tire on a 103" SG and the tire still almost looks new! I ride fairly spirited, so am very happy with it, as are all the guys I work with that have put them on. Not slippery in the corners and rides better then the stock Dunlops in my opinion. Rode one time in a heavy downpour and no problem with water. Will definately buy again!
