Good gone bad
This is my 4th set of commander 2's. Went thru 2 sets on my last bike and I am now on my 2nd set (4th total) on my current bike. I keep buying these because of the quality. They have been in the past an all around great tire that lasts long and gives you the stability that you want. But also allow you to maneuver the bike the way you need to. However, I haven't even had this current set for a full riding season yet and the center of the tire is flat all the way around along with a worn out spot all the way down to the bands. Very unsafe, should have been recalled, if it was then I should have been notified, I didn't get anything until I started calling around to have it replaced and guy at a shop told me about the issues that have been going on with these tires.
Are you looking for quality, then look no further
200/55/R17 Michelin 2 is the best tyre I have ever had on my big cruiser, handling and traction is excellent
Commander 2 shake wobble and roll
These tires came on my bike. They’ve been back to the dealer who mounted them twice to be balanced with the same results. Tons of weight on the front wheel and cannot tame the tire shake. It visibly wobbles at speed and the rear is visibly out of round if lifted off the ground and run. Rims are straight and true. These were supposed to be the best tires but they make riding miserable. Hate them but can’t afford to replace new tires.
Falling apart
6-7k miles and looks like it has 100k in one spot. Very dangerous! 2010 road glide
Hi Stacy. Thank you for your review of the MICHELIN Commander II tire. Uneven wear can have several causes. Please make sure the size of your tire is suitable and the one recommended by the manufacturer, check the inflation pressure often, check the mechanical condition of suspension, steering and wheel bearing elements, do not exceed the recommended load, correct all mechanical anomalies on the vehicle. Please bring your bike in at your local dealership for inspection when in doubt.

So the set in the garage since September, had them mounted and balanced, and ended up with a defective tire and wheel hobble
Need more
Need and want more milage and more performance look no more. 2008 triumph rocket 3 , 12,200 miles in all kinds of weather and road conditions.
Premature wear
I put commander 2s on my softail custom at 6500 kms, just clocked 14000kms the front tire is totally gone and the back will probably go another 1500kms. They are a good handling tyre but just won’t last and for the cost you would expect more
Junk tire
I have a comandor 2 rear tire and its literally tread is falling apart and less than 6000 miles
Great tires!
Great overall tire! Handles great, great traction, got 26k miles outta mine not sure why people say they only got 10k or 15k? I need another set 180 55 B18 (x2)
Disappointed
I'm very disappointed in these tires. I didn't get 10,000 miles out of them. At a little over 9,000 miles, the front tire was slick! the rear tire was flat in the center.
