Features

  • The MICHELIN tire for all types of cruisers, offering more longevity without compromising stability and handling.
  • Proven Longevity - The benchmark in longevity commissioned third-party tests show that the MICHELIN Commander II rear tire lasts almost twice as long as its main competitors.*
  • No Compromise on Stability and Manuverability - Thanks to its high-density and therefore stiffer frame (MICHELIN Amplified Density Technology), MICHELIN Commander II features premium handling and responsiveness. The top layers in rear tires are made of aramid fibers, which combine resistance and a lightweight feel for perfect stability, even at high speeds.
  • Excellent Grip on Wet Surfaces - A brand new longitudinal tread provides outstanding water evacuation, and thus excellent grip on wet surfaces.
  • *Commissioned third party tests conducted in 2011 on public roads comparing MICHELIN Commander II tires, Metzeler ME880, and Dunlop D407/D408 tires in sizes 130/80B17 and 180/65B16. Individual results may vary depending on motorcycle type and operating conditions.

Description

When the MICHELIN Commander II tire was released it set the standard in terms of tire life, almost doubling the life that consumers would see from its competitors. In addition to long tire life, Michelin has incorporated MICHELIN Amplified Density Technology (ADT) which increases responsiveness. Commissioned third party tests conducted in 2011 on public roads comparing MICHELIN Commander II tires, Metzeler ME880, and Dunlop D407/D408 tires in sizes 130/80B17 and 180/65B16. Individual results may vary depending on motorcycle type and operating conditions.

  • Don’t be cheap, yours tires good, you feel good, you ridenfood
Size: 160/70B-17 (73V)
I really don’t like that unsafe feeling when I’m riding. Especially when the pack rides hard and fast. Although it hardly ever rains in Southern California when it does, and you got bald tires it’s the worst. All the oil and debris rise up making it feel as if your fish tailing on the freeway going 75-80mph is not fun but with the bike being my only transportation sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do but other times when it’s dumping out here you gotta network and find other ways to get around. So I saw on prime that it would take 2-3days to arrive and scheduled how I was gonna get to work for those days but was shocked when it said part was shipped I was like I’ve seen that before no way. And then another update I was so stoked , which is why I’m writing this review, something I never do but with the fast shipping i took my wheel off and next day tire arrived and was able to install it and be back on the road within 24hrs you just can’t beat that service. Of course the rain stopped when I got my new tire on but still i was back on the road going a buck 10 till the end hitting the canyons felt so good and grip was top notch and can’t beat the price of these especially when not a single dealer or vendor doesn’t carry these anymore. They all carry those junk commander threes the performance of these tires is unbeatable. And the value of these is lower than every other website and installation was cake if you got the right tools….and a tire machine of course. Don’t think about it , just buy these tires. Or actually don’t…I’m gonna need some in a few months with all the burn outs and drifting I’ll be doing on a street or parking lot near your moms house suckkaaaaass!!

  • Good tires, long lasting
Size: 130/90B-16 (73H) Front
Motorcycle tires don't seem to last, but these do pretty well. Bought the Commanders for both our bikes; a Harley Ultra and Harley Heritage. They work well on dry roads, wet roads, heavy or light rain. They wear well, and we have gotten good mileage out of them.

  • Made recently
Size: 180/65B-16 (81H)
Real happy with the tire went back to the commander 2 from the commander 3 because I think it holds the road better and the tire was made the same year as I bought it. I see a lot of people complaining about getting tires shipped from other places that are 4 years old and older. Not here.

  • Love these,
Size: 170/80B-15 (77H)
Exactly as described a lot cheaper. The tires were not expired. They were great in the rain. I don’t feel like I’m sliding when a lane go around a curve. I put these on an 02 Honda shadow VLX 600.

  • These are great tires for a touring bike
Size: 180/65B-16 (81H)
I put a set of Commander II on my 2015 HD Ultra Classic. These are great tires for a touring bike. They handle well in wet and dry weather. My bike seemed to ride and handle better. I don't think one would realistically get as many miles as some would have you think. I have 10K miles on mine. I should get another 1K - 2K miles out of it. I would imagine I'll get another 5K-6K out of it. My front tire is at the bottom of the green range on the HD tread measurement tool. I have no complaints about the mileage though other than some advertising would make one think they would get 20K+. Bottom line, the mileage is as good or better than Dunlop tire in handling and mileage and they are less expensive. Good reasons for me to go with another pair before long. ... show more

  • What a difference, will not buy another tire ever....
Size: 150/80B-16 (77H)
What a difference from my other tire. By far the best tire I have ever had for my Harley, you don't feeling nothing but smoothness on the road, even on uneven roads and the rumble strips. Will always buy Michelin.

  • Great for Yamaha V Star 1100

Great all around tire for the VStar 1100- Lots of guys run them because they last and have a good balance of performance and tread life.
