Default Ordered a new front tire.
My front tire is a Michelin Commander III Touring Tire, that I have had a good experience with.
I was considering other tires as well, I got a good deal on this tire. My rear tire is still in good shape so I'm holding off in a new tire for the freshly powder coated wheel. My independent shop is willing to install the tire for $25.

Just ordered a rear tire for the bike, another Michelin Commander 3 touring tire to go on the spare rear wheel.

I’m watching the reviews on the AE2 and will decide on an AE2 or Mich III depending. I’ll need a new rear at the start of next season.

Wise choice.
Because I have experience with the C3's, and I also like them, I'm going with what I know.
