  • Michelin perfection for our trike. very happy
Size: 130/60B-19 (61H)
Deep treads preform well on wet pavement. Michelin makes a fantastic motorcycle tire. We immediately traded our new trike tires for the Michelin set. Great price and fast delivery. Very Happy

  • The legendary Commander III at a great price.

Perfect! Have always been a fan of commander threes. It is the only tires I will run on my HD Softail Crossbones Springer. Great tire for so many applications. Great price. Shipped quickly. Thank you.

  • Best tires in this size
Size: 150/80B-16 (77H) Cruiser Rear
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

  • Michelin tires are the best
Size: 180/55B-18 (80H) Touring Rear
The day after mounting the tire, the girlfriend and I rode 250 miles through very curvy roads. Tire performed perfectly! Also, it balanced easily. Rode very smooth with no noise. Highly recommend. Date code was just a few months old.

  • Fresh rubber and lightning-fast shipping!
Size: 130/80B-17 (65H) Touring Front
I just picked up this Commander III Touring tire for my bike, and I’m beyond impressed with the service. Amazon had it on my doorstep much faster than expected. The big concern when buying tires online is always the "born-on date," but no worries here—the DOT date code was 44/25, meaning this tire was manufactured late last year. It’s fresh, looks great, and is ready for the road. If you’re looking for a reliable seller that moves inventory quickly so you aren't stuck with old, dry rubber, this is it. Can’t wait to get it mounted and feel the difference in the corners! ... show more
