The tires offer good performance and grip in dry conditions, with some customers reporting long tread life. However, many experienced vibration and buzzing issues, especially at higher speeds.

Not worth the money
After the second season a vibration was felt through the handle bars.Replaced front bearings and no change. I don’t expect anything besides lip service. I went back to Dunlops,cheaper and last longer.

vibration
bought about 2 years ago ,there is a vibration like a buzzing right through the handlebars when riding straight ,gone as soon as lean either way ,have had wheel bearings checked at the dealer and checked with an old school wheel spinner (at my shop I'm an automotive mechanic )have talked to 2 other riders with full size Harleys with the same issue ,one of them had his front wheel bearings changed twice with no change .Is Michelin doing anything about this issue ?

OUTSTANDING Product!
The Michelin Commander III tire is an OUTSTANDING product! It has definitely been put to the test, on ALL levels, on my 2017 Indian Scout. As a matter of fact, after upwards of 20,000 miles, I'm about to purchase my second set without hesitation.
Never again
After 10000 kilometers both front and rear are terrible to drive for wet conditions( extreme slippery). Tyre pressure are very correct front and rear. I bought it 2022 and installed 2024 spring. Tyre size 130x80x17, 180x65x16. I will remove asap these when the new set of (Metzlers)has arrived.
Kustomhd, we are sorry to read that you are experiencing this. A member of our team will be reaching out to you to determine next steps.

Great tires
These are my second set of commander 3s and I have had 3 sets of commander 2s previous to these. I have had great luck with Michelin motorcycle tires and haven't found a reason to switch to anything else.
Spider-Man on a motorcycle!
These tires were purchased from my latest motorcycle 2021 CMX 1100 rebel Honda. All of my vehicles (five of them) Our regularly replaced with Michelin tires. I have used Michelin tires since I could afford them at age 22 in the 1970s.
Good mileage, comfortable ride, and good traction.
I rode in 6 hours of heavy rain today. This is my second set of Commander III. I’m happy with the ride and the feel of these tires on my 2017 Indian Roadmaster.
Second set of these Commanders, nice tires
Great tires for my Street Glide
I’m very happy with the ride quality
