Best cruiser tire ever!

Reviewed by Easy Drifter - May 16, 2023 for a purchase of January 4, 2022

I’ve been riding for 56 years, dirt, sport, now cruiser bikes. I can honestly say the Commander III Cruiser tires I’ve had on two other bikes and currently the two I own, Kawasaki Vulcan Drifter and Yamaha Stratoliner, are the best wet/ dry traction/ handling and long wearing tires I’ve ever had. They improved the handling of every bike I’ve had them on. You can’t go wrong with Commander III’s !!!

Love these tires

Reviewed by Reaper - October 10, 2022 for a purchase of April 19, 2022

Road home in the rain after having them put on even new very good traction. Last a lot longer then Dunlops I use to run. Never any issue in any condition. I ride a 2015 streetbob. It will be the only tire I ever run on it from now on.
