Commander 2
I am running the Commander 2 on my 2009 Electra Glide Ultra Classic. I have had zero issues with these tires. Also ran Michelin’s of my CBR1000-RR. Now today’s odometer is at 63,925 on the Harley. I put the front one on at 33,592. That’s 30,333 miles and I am getting it replaced. The rear went on at 38,621 and I am now at 25,304 and more to go on that tire. I ride South Georgia, Florida and just spent six days in the mountains of North Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina two weeks ago. I have ridden in freezing temps, rain and 100 degree weather with no issues in performance. Everyone has their favorite tire and these are mine. Mike 06/04/2021
Great tire
I ride a 02 softail standard. Put on the commander II last year. Got about 8,000 miles on it so far. I ride hard most of the time. Tire still has a little life left in it. Maybe 2,000 miles if I took it easy. Love this tire and will be getting it again.
Expected Michelin Quality and Performance
Great tire with this caveat. Dry surface traction & cornering stability increasing suffer with increase in ambient temperatures above 100 degrees in hot Las Vegas summers.
Great wet traction, great longevity
Running this tire on the front of a 1993 Wide Glide. I live in Florida, and daily afternoon rains happen from June-September. I've tried The 'Harley' Dunlops, Dunlop American Eagle, and the Michelin Commander II. I wouldn't use the 'Harley' Dunlop (D402?) again if it were given to me. The American Eagle was a good tire, but after I got 27k miles out of a Michelin Commander II on the rear, I put it on the front, also. First fron tire that I've ever gotten over 5,000 miles out of (7,500 and counting). Not sure why I get so many miles out of a rear, and so few out of a front; friends say that I must ride backwards lol. Great wet traction, doesn't follow road snakes and Feels great when dragging pegs on sharp curves. I've found my tire. I know that they make a Commander III, but as long as I can get the II, I'm sticking with it.
Where the RUBBER meets the ROAD = more than a saying
I've spent a fortune on Dunlops and they wear out too fast. Shinko is garbage. Metzeler (Brazil) will NEVER be on another motorcycle I own. From the 25 degrees frozen prairie to 115-degree desert in Arizona, the Michelin is sticky where it is needed and holds tread for a long time. I won't bother trying other tires for my motorcycle and wish I had discovered them sooner. (I work in a motorcycle dealership and I tell people all day long about the quality and experience I have had with Michelins.)
Michelin Commander II tire are Awesome
Heard good things about these tires. So I put them on my 2003 Heritage. Very happy with the performance and the miles Im getting out of these tires.
