Just reporting on my experience with Michelin Commanders on my RK. 10,000 miles and both front and rear look to have quite a bit of tread left! Any comments or other observations on these?

I bought 2 rears last year. My commute on country roads, ( old asphalt, macadam, ) and high heat in NC only got me 7,000 miles both times.

I switched to E-3's last Fall and they're still on the bike 12,000 plus miles later.
