I change tyres every due to high mileage but also due to assymetric wear on front and rear tiré with Dunlop 406 & 407(2x), and Commander 2 (3x). The Commander 3 Cruiser front tyre has a more oval perfil, assymetric wear disapeared and increased stabile sportier riding with this very heavy motorcycles. The first time I only changed te front and noticed the difference, still having behind the Dunlop 407. I did NOT noticed a second improvement once changed to the Commander 3 rear tiré, but It makes more mileage without assymetric wear. It's hard to tell hoe the do in rain after one or two years but I made a very long mountain tour in rain but clean mountainroads( no oíl or dirt) a d they went perfect, but in Southern Spain with ocasional rain, on wet greasy roads they perform wors than the others I usted. As I resolved 2 problems for my heavy FatBoy I continué with this excellent tyre for dry roads

In my testing, Michelin Commander II tires have demonstrated impressive wear characteristics on both V-twin and V-4 powered motorcycles of comparable weight—a Harley-Davidson XL883R Sportster and a Honda VF700C Magna were the test beds, with the tires lasting longer on the V-4 Magma than the V-twin Sportster. That inevitably led to speculation about how the Michelin Commander III Cruiser tires would compare to the Commander II s on the same XL883R. more >>

After having mounted the Michelin Commander 3, when I hit the numerous sweepers on the 45‑­mile trip back to my house, I had a hard time keeping to the conventional wisdom of riding conservatively on new tires. It was almost like the Commander IIIs were pushing me – dare I say, showing off a little. But I refused the temptation. I promise…ahem.

Beyond performance, something else I was looking for in my new tires was longevity. Weighing in at two‑­plus bills, I’m not exactly slim, but I’m also not one of those hefty Guiness World Record twins many of us remember seeing sitting on motorcycles in pictures. Nor am I a super aggressive rider, and I diligently check my tire pressure, so I was disappointed when I got less than 4,000 miles out of my previous rear tire.  to the full review >>
