First of all, this is not Revzilla's fault. However, I bought the Michelin Commander III front tire for my 2020 Road Glide Ltd. I had a back tire which I bought at a charity auction for an injured rider. Michelin had donated the tire as they are headquartered where I live in Upstate, SC. Just got back from a 5700 mile trip. These tires are ok at highway speed but at lower speeds on smooth roads it is like running over pebbles the whole time...just a constant hum and vibration. Having been a Michelin person my whole life, I cannot describe my disappointment. I will never buy a Michelin product again. I had heard of issues but had been told it was "fixed". These tires were both manufactured in Spring of 2021 so obviously not fixed yet. Have ordered the Dunlop American ... MoreFirst of all, this is not Revzilla's fault.

Probably ought to go to Michelin but don't have time or energy. If you are thinking about it...DON'T do it.

Ran 4 sets of Commander II on my Road King and the are the best tire on the market. 14 years of living and riding in the mountains of Colorado earned these tires my best rating. Heat, rain, slush, road snakes and high mountain passes proved their traction, smoothness and longivity-21K on one set. I just put a set of Commander III on and can't wait to see how the improved model preforms. I have tried many different brands- Metzler, Dunlop Elites, and the Michelin Commanders are my pic. Love touring this beautiful country.

I was excited to try the Michelin Com 3?s after riding 300k miles on Dunlop?s. Loved the look, and the handling, but the tread pattern on my 17in. front was defective and caused the bike a high intensity vibration when bike was going straight. In the turns the vibration stopped. Michelin paid for my Dunlop replacements after putting 3k mi. On the 3?s. If they get the tread pattern defect straightened out, I?d be willing to try them again, until then the Dunlops are quite good really, in wet or dry.

Purchased a rear from Cycle Gear and the front from an online vendor, had both installed at Cycle Gear. The rear needed 3 ounces for balance, which I thought was a bit excessive. After installation, I instantly noticed an extreme vibration that seem to be coming from the rear. The front seems to be stable as there is no movement in the bars I feel the vibration in the floorboards and in the seat. After further reading, this seems to be a common problem with the Michelin Commander 3. I did purchase the warranty with the rear tire and will be attempting to get it swapped.
I ran Commander 2’s on my 2014 CTX1300, far superior to other tires I have tried. Grip so well by in dry they inspire confidence. Moved on to a Commander 3 in the rear 200/55-17 size, it felt different and I reduced pressure 4-5 pounds the 3’s seem to have a stiffer sidewall. After break in and reducing pressure from 44-40 it seems just like the Commander 2 tire. (Still have a Commander 2 on front) Mileage depends on how you ride.. I had the rear in the cords on the sides at 6400 miles. The center still had some life left. Michelin hypes these as rain tires.. To be frank, like any other tire, they slip and slide like other tires with similar tread patterns. They don’t have enough siping to provide anything more than average traction at best. With both the Commander ... MoreI ran Commander 2’s on my 2014 CTX1300, far superior to other tires I have tried. Grip so well by in dry they inspire confidence.

With both the Commander 2 and the Commander 3 I have had my traction control detect wheel spin at moderate throttle in rain, BUT a 200mm wide tire isn’t going to be a great wet surface tire.Overall a GREAT tire, I just feel the wet surfaces traction and mileage durability are overhyped.
I've only ridden them a relatively low amount of miles so far (about 200 miles) but so far they are great. Of course, the older tires deteriorate slowly so the real deterioration of old tires happens almost un-noticed. I changed my tires when I started hearing roaring in turns which turned out to be scalloping on my old tires. The change, of course, was immense. The new tires track beautifully. They are smooth, the corner well and there is no 'howling' in cornering. However, I also changed the shocks at the same time so the ride is COMPLETELY improved. Between the Ohlins shocks and the new tires my bike is transformed. An added benefit is that the new shocks were slightly longer than my 'collapsed' stock shocks resulting in a new feel to the front end. Oversteer is ... MoreI've only ridden them a relatively low amount of miles so far (about 200 miles) but so far they are great.

I put these on my 2013 Electra Glide and took it on a 2400 mile trip, including tail of the dragon and other roads in the Deals Gap area...in the rain. They did well. I don't have a report on mileage yet. But I can say the front produced a noticeable vibration when going dead straight. Get off top center on the front and the vibration goes away completely. For the money I would think Michelin would have given me a tire that does not do this. It's not just an annoyance really. Wheel and head stock bearings don't really like vibration. I'm sure the levels are not that big of a deal but no vibration is better. It is damped out by the time it hits my grips but it is still noticeable. So my plan is to focus on the pretty countryside going by and try a different tire when ... MoreI put these on my 2013 Electra Glide and took it on a 2400 mile trip, including tail of the dragon and other roads in the Deals Gap area...in the rain.

I don't think this review should be about the tire. It should be about the way I view Cycle Gear and their service. I have been shopping there since they opened prox 5 years ago. I have purchased all of my motorcycle accessories there. I must say that I have always perceived that "they take care of their customers". They have always been friendly and more than ready to be informative but not pushy. I had purchased two Sena headsets and had trouble with one of them. They couldn't get it to work either and immediately replaced it with a new one. All that said, "I do like the tire!"
I thought I was crazy at 1st, but after reading multiple people state the EXACT same issue on MIchelin's site, I've realized I'm not losing my mind. lol. Per my Mechanic's recommendation, he highly recommended buying the Commander III's since the Commander II's were so great. I bought them through Rocky Mountain and I had my Commander III's put on Saturday, both front and rear. There's a noticeable vibration while going straight on anything above 35-40mph, but the road noise and vibration totally disappear when I lean or turn. It's very strange and isn't normal. The vibration immediately comes back when I'm going straight again. These tires replaced my Dunlop OEM Tires on my CVO Road King, so I sure hope these issues go away. If not, I'm out hundreds of dollars for ... MoreI thought I was crazy at 1st, but after reading multiple people state the EXACT same issue on MIchelin's site, I've realized I'm not losing my mind. lol.

I would love for someone to get back to me and let me know if there is a resolution for this yet? Rocky Mountain is and has always bee great, but I'm not happy with the Commander III's so far. Very disappointed.
DO NOT BUY THIS TIRE. I've had this on my Road Glide now for about 2 months and 3500 miles. There is a constant vibration/buzz/hum caused by the front tire between 45-50 MPH. After I had the tire installed I thought it would wear in after a short distance. 300 miles later it was still there so I brought it back to a dealer to look at thinking maybe I had a problem with my wheel bearings. The mechanic verified the problem, and said he had just installed the same tire on his Street Glide a week before and had the same issue. Michelin claims this is "normal", in 20+ years of riding I've never had a tire behave this way. Michelin told the dealer it would go away after the tire wore in over the first thousand miles or so. 3500 miles later it is no better than when it was ... MoreDO NOT BUY THIS TIRE.

I'll be replacing this tire early and never buy another Michelin again.
