Review Summary

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.

No vibration complaints and good mileage

2005 Honda VTX, front and rear 5k a year, 2 seasons on rear and front, very satisfied, wet traction on rear could be a little better but great tires and looking forward to installing on our Road Glide next

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.

Disappointed

Was hoping that they had fixed these tires from all of the problems they were originally having but they haven’t. Same issues as everyone else noise and vibration from the front tire. Don’t understand why they are still this way but don’t buy them just get the American elites instead.

Very disappointed

Tire is barely a year old. I bought 2 180-65-16 for a 2019 road glide and a 2014 Electra glide limited.The road glide didn’t make 8000 miles. The Electra limited is wearing good but weather checking really bad. When not riding bikes are parked in a garage
