Review Summary
The tires provide excellent performance, grip, and longevity. They offer great traction in both dry and wet conditions and handle well at high speeds. Many users report the tires are an improvement over the previous model, with better grip and longer-lasting wear. However, some customers have experienced vibration or humming noises from the front tire, particularly at certain speeds. A few users also reported premature tire wear or blowouts, though these appear to be less common issues. Overall, the tires offer a good balance of performance, handling, and durability, but the vibration problem should be addressed.

Junk
Worst tire I ever bought had a month and has cracks and can drive over wet pavement then crack the throttle and just spins
Good for Honda Rebel
no problems at all. fitted my rebel 500 because the stock(dunlop 404) cant grip well in the rain. got my confidence riding in the rain with these.
Longest, lasting most responsive
Far away, the most responsive tires I’ve ever written on.
130/80/B17 vibration
I've had a front tire vibration between 55 and 60 mph on the last three 130/80 B17 tires that I've owned. I spend very little time at those speeds so it's not a major issue.
Best tires ever!!
Just installed the third set on my third bike. They made my cruisers handle like sport bikes. Wet/ dry traction is excellent. Braking can be done with total confidence; my ABS has yet to activate with these tires mounted. Looks like I’m going to get close to 25k miles out of my original set on a 900lb bagger!! I’ll be hard pressed to ever run a different tire.

Command the Road
I purchased this Tire on 11/2023 and as soon as I rode away from the dealer/installer I noticed a much better ride than the oem tires. I listened to a friend and glad I did (he also told me expect to get many good miles out ofthem.

Nice and good looking
I like these tires front tire buzzes a little due to aggressive tread pattern but goes away about 20 mph no bad vibes or noise handle very well stop very well at speed smooth and quiet look great smell good too lol yes I like these tires also I have been running around on Michelin tires for years these are on my big dog bulldog also on my z1r 1100 never had any issues my Dunlop's were vary squirrelly won't buy again.
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 !!!
