The tires provide excellent traction, grip, and handling in both dry and wet conditions, offering a smooth and confident ride. Many customers report the tires are an improvement over the previous model, with better grip and longer-lasting tread. However, some users have experienced vibration or humming noises, particularly at higher speeds, as well as premature wear or blowouts. Overall, the tires offer great performance, but customers should be aware of the potential issues.

Is a Commander 3 Cruiser safe

I purchased 2 Commander 3 Cruiser tires yesterday for Harley Davidson 2016 Dyna. The front had a date of 0425. The back was dated 0226. I'm concerned that my front tire is a year old before HD sold and installed it on my motorcycle. Is the old tire safe?

“Confidence on every curve”

The best cruiser tire I've ever ridden on." The stability and handling of the Michelin Commander Ill are outstanding - confident at highway speeds and surprisingly nimble in corners. The premium materials deliver excellent grip in both dry and wet conditions, requiring minimal maintenance thanks to even, consistent wear. Miles in, the durability speaks for itself - these tires last far longer than the competition. A no-brainer upgrade for any cruiser rider.

Unmatched stability and cornering!

I switched to the Commander III Cruisers and the difference in handling is night and day. The bike feels much more planted in the corners, and the grip on both dry and wet pavement is incredible. There’s a noticeable smoothness at highway speeds that gives me a lot more confidence on long rides. Michelin really nailed the balance between comfort and performance here."

Nice Tires

I had these on my motorcycle and I never had any issue with comfort. It was a smooth right through and through, with no noise and complete control.

Highest Mileage

I am on my 2nd Commander 3 tire. I ride a 2015 HD Heritage. The 1st tire went 12,500 miles which is the most I have gotten and I have tried them all. We shall see what happens with the 2nd tire. The front tire is also commander 3 and has over 15,000 and is up for replacement in the spring. Will go with them again.

Vibration

Front tire vibrates at 120kmh despite being balanced, and bike being gone through. Have come to the conclusion that many riders have experienced the same issue.

Fantastic Tires!

Great tire! Motorbike feels stable while cornering, through curves, wind, hail, rain and through construction zones! I average 10,000 miles per year riding. The design, materials and performance are top of the line. Worth the money to ride confidently. Fits the bike per its specifications.
