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.

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.
