Excellent grip
2nd set I’ve bought. I got the first set on my 07 ultra probably got 10k on them and another 10 to go. Handle great in rain and dry roads. I’ll not buy any other brand of tires again. I’m anxious to put this new set on my 09 cvo fltrsei3
Michelin Commander III rating
I replaced my Michelin Commander II with the newer design Commander III tire. I tell you what! I didn't think there would be a longer lasting tire than the Commander II tire. I WAS WRONG! The Commander III tire has already past the milage I got from the Commander II. It'll be time to replace it not too long into the future but I believe I probably have about 5000 miles left. I ride EXTREMELY hard. KUDOS to Michelin for developing such an awesome tire. I'm in Arizona and the streets in Tucson have potholes all over the place. Typically rough on tires and wheels. I already know what my next tire is going to be! Michelin Commander III.
Exceptional Tire
I bought Command 3 Touring for my 05 HD Electra Glide Classic and after mounting I couldn't believe how smooth it rode . It also seen to grip the road much better than previous Dunlop
Vibrating rubber!
Horrible tire! Lots of vibration! Horrible quality control if any. How a tire can be this bad and leave the factory is a scathing review of the company. Terrible and makes me sad that I can't ever trust a Michelin tire again.
Hi Jason Thank you for your review. We are very sorry you are experiencing issues with your MICHELIN Commander III tires. Vibration can have several causes, such as incorrect mounting, incorrect balancing, worn motorcycle components, etc. Please bring your bike in to a local dealer for inspection or contact Michelin Consumer Care at 800-346-4098 to verify your fitment.

horrifying in the wet!!!
They wear like cast iron but grab even worse in the wet!! Tires have almost killed me @ 6 times in 5000 miles!! In the dry they aren't too bad but God help you if you run into rain!! I've been on flat road,minor sprinkle for rain on cruise and the rear just broke free!! Not impressed at all
Confidence Booster
I put the Commander IIIs on my Indian Roadmaster before a 6800 mile trip. I saw a LOT of rain but none more intense than the span of highway between Daytona and Orlando, FL. The tires gripped the road and never hydroplaned…they tracked true. 2 days later I was in 325 miles Rain shower but didn’t care because my Commander IIIs kept me well connected to the road.

Comander 3's best tire ever !!!
My rear had 23,000 miles on it and still had tread left. I just changed it out for thus season, the front has 28,000 on it still looks great even the sidewalls still look like I used tire shine on them and I don't. Just all around good dang tires that make me feel safe no matter the weather or road conditions!!! Thanks for a great product. Darren from Michigan's thumb on a harley ultra classic .

Excessive Road Noise
Front tire wore on one side causing lot of road noise at approximately 5000 km. Still lots of threat but excessive wear on one side.
