MICHELIN COMMANDER III TOURING TIRE
SINCE MY VERY 1ST MILE ON MY MICHELIN COMMANDER II AND ALSO ON MY MICHELIN COMMANDER III TIRES AND I'M ON MY 3RD SET, I ABSOLUTLY LOVE THE COMMANDER III TIRES THERE HAS NEVER EVER BEEN A BETTER TIRE FOR MY 2011 STREET GLYDE!! I WOULD RATHER WALK THAN HAVE TO PUT ANOTHER BRAND OF TIRES. I AVERAGE APPROX 18 TO 20,000 MILES A YEAR WITH A LOT OF THOSE MILES IN THE WINDING CURVES IN THE NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTIANS. ON WET ROADS, THE MICHELIN COMMANDER III IS THE ONLY TIRE FOR ME!! THANKS MICHELIN FOR MAKING A SUPERIOR TIRE FOR MOTOR CYCLES!!
Thank you, Cotton, for your review of the MICHELIN Commander III Touring tire! We are glad you are enjoying the wet and dry grip of our newest tire in the Commander range! Thank you for being a valued customer of Michelin.

Vibration issues with Front Commander 3
I have about 8K miles on the front Commander 3 of my 2015 Indian Roadmaster. I have same vibration as others have stated. Before these I ran several sets of commander 2s and never had a problem. I am going back to the Commander 2s for that reason and would suggest avoiding the C3's to all

Commander III Front Tire Vibration
Purchased a set of Commander III tires for my 2015 Ultra Limited. First ride out noticed a vibration/buzz in the front tire between 40 to 50 km,ph . Contacted dealer and than Michelin. Found out that they are having a problem with this tire and the second rep I talked to at Michelin admitted to this being a problem. They said that they will take care of the problem, will wait and see. Next time I will read the reviews first. Had commander II,s before and were great tires, will probably go to a different brand next time, will see what happens. Have not had them on long enough to give a accurate review as to there performance.
Stop selling these for Harley Davidson Motorcycles
I just purchased these 29 Jun 2021. I received feedback vibration through the front suspension at all speeds. During 20mph-40mph it feels like the tire is coming apart. The tires were professionally mounted and balanced and the wheel bearings are good. I have never experienced this until I used these tires. Searching online, Michelin has had this problem since day one, well over a year ago. I do not trust these tires and want a refund. I do not want a defective exchange where I will most likely get another bad set of tires and have to pay $250 to have them installed. Only to repeat the process. I used to only buy Michelin for my vehicles. I will not buy another Michelin tire now.

front tire is noisy at 55 mph
These sound like truck tires at 55 mph. They are now like the classic Commander II's. The front is terrible.
Vibration between 15 & 35 MPH
As others have mentioned. I had two C3 front tires that had the vibration between 15 & 35 mph when goibg straight. in itself maye nif a big deal. but when carving twisties every time i cxme out of a lean to straight up i got the vibration, which gave a false impression of the front tire washing out. I now have Dunlop American Elites, and am happy with them. Shame on Michelin for not recalling these crappy tires.
Bad Tire
I have had Commander 2 and were great. Installed commander3 front tire with commander2 on rear and not even 20miles on it vibration had rebalanced and new bearings installed by dealer and still same vibration. Not Satisfied at all. Had a long distance trip planned. So im going to have to find another brand so that i dont loose $3000.00 for trip. Dealing with Revzilla from whom i bought it through and may take week or 2 to get answer from there warranty dept.
Vibration at 30 and 50 mph (2012 Road Glide front tire)
Getting a vibration at 30 and 50 mph. Vibration goes away when rolling to either side. Only vibrates when riding on center of tire. The rep I spoke with at Michelin sounded surprised and asked for proof it was tire and not bearing or balancing problem. I had tire rebalance after my first ride and still the same problem. I bought from BikeBandit and I'm past my return date. They also wanted proof it was tire. The tire actually handles very well in the turns and rides smooth, until I hit 30 and 50 mph. I have Commander 2 on the rear and had no issues...so far. Looks like I'm out $200 plus mount and balance fee...x3.
Do not purchase these tires for Harley baggers
Bought the commander III for the first time, horrible vibration starting at 30 mph and gets worse until I maxed out my tolerance at 55 mph. Took it back and replaced it with a stock Dunlop..... Looked on line and there are a lot of the same problems with the Commander III's. Now i need to figure out how to get my money back. Extremely disappointed, commander II's are great tires.
