  • Long lasting tires for a cruiser.
Size: 130/90B-16 (73H) Front
Great tire. Rides smooth on dry pavement and does pretty well on wet. My last set was the commander II and they lasted about 20k miles so hopefully I'll get the same or more out of these.

  • Great tire, better than Pirelli Knight Dragons
Size: 150/80B-16 (77H)
Much improved! The "Cruser" has a thicker casing, perhaps stiffer than needed for the lighter Insian Scout. However, it was recommended as the correct replacement for the OEM Perelli Night Dragons (that still had tread after 6,500 miles, but never felt right (tire wobble, and not particularly confidence-inspiring in hard corners. I have a motorcycle shop, and have seen LOTS of tires and owned most. Michelins have always been a favorite, especially with the additional silical compounds they use. Glad to move away from "knight dragons," eager to see how these wear and handel over the next 6K miles. ... show more

  • Date code is a plus!
Size: 160/70B-17 (73V)
Great tire. Date code is newer so that is a plus. Sometimes they sit in a warehouse for years, so you never know how long the rubber has been “exposed.” Only 6 months old which is a win! Had an issue with shipping, but not the sellers fault and seller responded in a few hours to track down the order, fix the issue, and still get it to me quickly. Will buy from again! ... show more

  • Best tires in this size
Size: 150/80B-16 (77H)
This is hands down the best tire in this narrow cruiser size. Concours zg1000 (GTR1000) and ride it at a fast pace and like to lean. I ride in all weather, hot or cold, only stopping when there’s snow on the roads. First, it has more sidewall than every other tire this size so you can lean a LOT more than other cruiser-sized tires. My previous tires always had zero chicken strips and a few occasions of out-leaning and rolling over the sidewall with little sliding while the front tire always had chicken strips showing the front had way more to go where the rear was beyond its limits. Not so with these tires, they’ve got plenty of room for lean. These aren’t sportbike tires, but for 150-size tires these are the best by a mile and you can lean a lot more than other tires this size. Rain traction. These have excellent rain traction, which is something I’ve always found seriously lacking in other bias ply tires. These have no issues in the rain, plenty of traction. Michelin’s silica content and rain compound is, as always, absolute perfection. Previous cruiser tires could get a little sketchy on the throttle on wet pavement, these stick like glue. Can’t comment on wear so far since I’ve only got 6k miles but they’re looking great. Reports are that wear should be good, time will tell. ... show more

  • Tire install on a 2003 Harley Davidson anniversary model
Size: MT90B-16 (72H)
I bought these tires and installed them on a friends motorcycle for him. They seem to be working pretty good. When you’re wrapped up that tight with that plastic and then taped, there should be cardboard spacers put in the tire so they don’t squish them together to make them hard to work with.

  • Beware of DOT Date Code 10 month old tire
Size: 140/90B-16 (77H)
The DOT date code on the tire shows it to be 10 months old when I got it. I contacted the seller and was told I could send it back (at my cost) and have it inspected for use and or damage. I haven't mounted the tire yet because the date code shows it to be an old tire. Tires must be replaced every 5 years no matter how many miles on are on them. I am already DOWN 10 months. Seller could not promise me I would get a newer tire so they might just send the same tire back who would know. I decided not to return it due to the fact I'd have wait on another tire and there is no telling what the date code would be on it. I won't say anything NEGATIVE about them but I sure won't say anything good either. I would've rated it higher but I'm not happy with the age of the tire. ... show more
