Best tires yet
Put a set of commander 3s on my 2013 Ultra Glde ,did a 3,500 mile trip to Sturgis and back tresd still looked new with little or no wear showig. I now have 6,500 miles and they still look great. Very happy with them.
Best cruiser tire ever!
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
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.
Hi Baker, thanks for the great feedback. We're glad you felt confident riding in the rain. Our MICHELIN Commander III Cruiser tire came out on top in the wet grip category in Motorrad's cruiser tire testing in 2020. To make a tire that is excellent in the rain while delivering extraordinary longevity is a difficult task, but I believe your claims prove that we succeeded.

Handling
Much better handling than Dunlops.They stick like glue.Good in rain. Matches Michelin's reputation.

TERRIBLE IN RAIN!!
TERRIBLE in the rain …. Had the rear tire on for a solid 1500 miles…. On our way to sturgis and his some rain going over donner pass in California …obly doing about 40 , going slow, the tire completely washed out from under me and my passenger and ended up going down.. luckily we were hurt and the bike was not to thrashed , we kept going … about 980 miles solid of rain non stop from California into Wyoming ..,,, the tire felt like I was on ice skates floating around , couldn’t keep a straight line. This is with a passenger and tour pack loaded down so there should have been no excuse for it being light…highly do not recommend ,,,,, going back to my trusty dunlops
Concerned
My rear Comander3 has 13,000 miles on it.Noticed a straight line on the center all the way around.

Just purchased the Michelin Commander lll Rear Tire. Reviews look great. Paid the price for higher quality.
Great so far
I do not understand all the bad reviews. Just got the tires and rode 300 miles in the mountains of NC on my 2013 HD super glide and was riding 2 up. 8 hours round trip. speeds from 70 on the interstate to 1st and 2nd gear switch backs, no vibration or noise. had commander 2 on it before and the commander 3 handles great. I think hung the curves better will see how they last got 9k out commander 2 it replaced. Time will tell on miles they last.
