Review Summary
The tires offer good handling, traction, and long-lasting wear, especially in dry conditions. Many riders reported excellent mileage, with some getting over 20,000 miles. The tires were also noted for their stability and performance in wet weather. However, some customers experienced issues like wobbling, vibration, and premature wear, particularly with the front tire. A small number of riders reported tire failures, including blowouts and tread separation. Overall, the tires appear to be a solid all-around option, but the inconsistent performance and occasional durability problems suggest they may not be the perfect choice for all riders and conditions.

Happy with these on VTX1300
Replaced factory Dunlops with these on a 2007 Honda VTX1300S. Very grippy and ride is smooth. I’m 5’9” and 220 and I run them at 33 front 34 rear. So far, about 800 miles and I’m happy with them.

I can't praise anymore
I put a set of these on my 2002 Yamaha V-Max, I was looking to last longer that the other tires that wore out in 6 or 7,000 miles, BINGO!!! I am now needing to replace the Commander 2s with 20,000 + miles on them with new ones, excellent traction, excellent mileage, excellent rain, noise, handling ETC... since putting them, I purchased more of them for my other motorcycles, but now I'm having a hard time replacing because, I haven't tried the 3's yet, but I hope I have the results

My go to
I run a shop in Northern California. I also ride the heck outta Harleys every day. I don't drive cars or trucks. I ride hot rod custom Harleys. 40k plus miles a year sometimes. The Commander 2 is my go too. The design is great. Holds up to the demands a high HP/TQ engine throws on it. It handles the power in the rain better than any other. I don't get the best mileage out of them. But none of the tires I've used on my bikes do for the mostpart( I ride like a wildman. So I'm hard on tires). I can't say enough about em. My new favorite combo is the Commander 3 rear. And Commander 2 front. Highly recommend these tires. The comfort, and performance is unmatched
