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.

  • Excellent Tire
Upon first mounting my new Michelin Commander II on my Wide Glide, I was disappointed and skeptical of my decision. The compound on the tire compared to the HD Dunlop was/is significantly harder and far less sticky. When shifting into 2d and 3d, I found myself losing traction, actually sliding my rear end a foot out with the wheel spinning like crazy. My driving habits were nowhere as extreme as normal, as I am aware of the "burn off" period when buying a new tire. Needless to say, after putting about 100 miles on the new tire, and ridding it of whatever protective coating installed by the manufacturer, I am now very pleased with the grip and stick of the tire. Equally, it must have a different or transitional compound, so as you lean the bike off the center ride path and onto the outside of the tire (when cornering), it holds firm and has no slip. In a tight corner, and I mean when scraping pegs, this tire sticks firm and has fantastic traction and control. Also, it seems this tire is a bit "rounder" that the Dunlop. Transitioning from upright to a tight lean is effortless and feels great. Bottom line: Great tire. I have 2000 miles on it now and there is no noticeable tread wear at all. (my last Dunlop only lasted 3700 miles and was a slick). I understand that when transitioning to a high mileage tire something has to give, and in this case, it's grip, but honestly I notice an improvement. We'll see how long it actually lasts. ... show more

  • Great tire for the miles and corners
Got this on my 2015 FLD Dyna switchback. Around 11k miles now and the middle tread is gone finally. Much better than stock Dunlop tire that lasted half the miles and grips and corners much better as well. I bought for the front and just as impressive.

  • VERY satisfied
The tire arrived ahead of schedule. I had it installed the very next weekend and proceeded to give it a thorough "workout". I was extremely pleased! It "sticks" in the corners and I no longer feel like I have to push my bike down to bank. It also smoothed out my straight ride and does not get affected as much by highway seams and tar strips ash original Dunlops did. I will definitely look for this tire again when it comes time for my next change. ... show more

  • Good grip, short life.
I love the feel and grip of this tire. The sidewalks don’t roll like others while riding in the canyons. But, they don’t last as long as some others out there. I’d say, more performance than commuting.
