The C3 Tour Front and Rear
Hi, I ordered (from RevZilla) a set of the C3 Touring tires for my Harley Davidson 2009 Ultra Classic. The C3's tires have a deep think tread with a strong sidewall. These tires are a fantastic choice for the Ultra Classic. They grip very well in tight corners, sweepers, as well as a power stop. In the past, I have used the American Elite tires and I think the C3's provide a better ride. I highly recommend these tires for a Harley Davidson Touring bike.

A good tire
I just ordered another C3 to replace the front tire on my 2009 FLHTCU. These are good tires.

Great performance, But…..
Been running. The C3 for a while now. First front tire was warrantied due to vibration, with the replacement tire vibration continues. I’m sure it’s from a manufacturing defect with the molds used. The mold seem is still vey much visible even after several 1000 miles

Terrible tires for mileage, terrible customer service!
I am very disappointed in Michelin Commander III quality and subsequent customer service. I have purchased 5 previous sets of Commander III's and I loved them. Against the advice of the Harley dealership which say all negatives I insisted I get Michelin tires on my bike. I have believed Commander III's smooth ride and superior handling were far superior. I have seen many posts with complaints about the low mileage you get from these tires. Now, this spring I put on Michelin tires again, paid double the price of others but was OK with that because I want great products. I am not an aggressive rider but this set lasted me less than 5000 miles. That's unacceptable! I emailed Michelin twice with my concerns with no response. I called Michelin customer service three times and left a message with no response. I replaced my tires yesterday because cords were showing on my back tire after only 5000 miles and the service department at Harley laughed at me and said, "we told you not to go with Michelins!" I am very frustrated because I have told hundreds of people on my many road trips how much I recommend Michelin Commander III tires. I will now tell as many people as I can how terrible the tires are for any longevity and how Michelin was unresponsive nor cared to make the situation right in my eyes. This is not the way to treat your long time customers Michelin!
