Enhanced Tread Design

These changes, which consist of longer intermediate rain grooves, are designed to give a more uniform and comfortable ride to the wide variety of motorcycles using the popular sizes 130/60B19 61H  and 130/80B17 65H.

Strange vibration and road noise

Reviewed by Chris - May 21, 2023 for a purchase of January 2, 2202

I've had two sets of the commander 2s prior and never had any issues or concerns with them. Mileage and where to seemed to be very normal. I write a Harley-Davidson road glide ultra and swapped out to the commander 3s in the spring of 2022. After about 3,000 MI a vibration that I thought would clear up after a few miles is still there and getting worse. The worst thing about it is it's only when you're going straight which is what a touring bike does. If you get even a little off-center of the front tire the vibration goes away. I ride with many other guys that have the same tire and it all does the same thing. It's a very thin buzzy vibration but it will put your hands to sleep in no time. I'm going to submit a warranty claim with my Harley-Davidson dealer in Greenville South Carolina and see if they can swap this tire out. I've heard it was a bad run of tires but I've also heard of people swapping them out for other Commander 3s and the same thing happening.

Best tire yet

Reviewed by Brian - May 14, 2023 for a purchase of April 28, 2023

I just installed my third set of Commander III's on my Harley Ultra classic. These are the best motorcycle tires I have ever owned. They create a very comfortable ride. They are quiet. They handle very well in curves, and in rain they grip to the road. My local Harley shop tried to steer me away from them because of "issues." Don't listen to them! I can't wait for Michelin to develop the Commander 4's but I dont see how they could improve this tire!

Reviewed by Uncle d - May 7, 2023 for a purchase of June 8, 2021

My rear had 23,000 miles on it and still had tread left. I just changed it out for thus season, the front has 28,000 on it still looks great even the sidewalls still look like I used tire shine on them and I don't. Just all around good dang tires that make me feel safe no matter the weather or road conditions!!! Thanks for a great product. Darren from Michigan's thumb on a harley ultra classic .
