Great tires that grip the road
I run these tires on my touring bike. They wear well lasting a long time. They grip well on wet surfaces, and they maintain that traction as the tires wear.

You cannot go wrong with these tire. They last 30-40K miles, they grip the road like no other and I love how they are not noisy. These are the only tires that I will put on my bike

I’ve been a Michelin tire user for many years, and they’ve always set a high bar for ride quality and confidence on my Harley-Davidson touring bikes. When the original Commander 3 first came out, I’ll be honest, the early harmonic vibration reviews gave me pause. Because of that, I decided to try a competitor’s touring tire instead. After running those for a while, I recently made the switch back and installed the Michelin Commander 3 – 2nd Generation Touring on my 2022 Harley Ultra Limited, and I’m genuinely impressed. Whatever refinements Michelin made between the early Commander 3 feedback and this 2nd generation clearly worked. The ride is smooth, stable, and confidence-inspiring at highway speeds, with noticeably improved feel compared to my previous setup. Handling feels planted in sweepers, straight-line tracking is excellent, and road feedback is controlled without being harsh. Any concerns I once had about harmonics are completely gone on my bike. Overall, this tire feels like a true evolution of the Commander line and a solid upgrade for heavy touring motorcycles. Based on this experience, I won’t hesitate to stick with Michelin going forward. I’m already planning to purchase another set of Commander 3 2nd Generation Touring tires for my Road King. Highly recommended for riders looking for a smooth, dependable touring tire from a brand that continues to listen and improve.
