I can't praise anymore

I put a set of these on my 2002 Yamaha V-Max, I was looking to last longer that the other tires that wore out in 6 or 7,000 miles, BINGO!!! I am now needing to replace the Commander 2s with 20,000 + miles on them with new ones, excellent traction, excellent mileage, excellent rain, noise, handling ETC... since putting them, I purchased more of them for my other motorcycles, but now I'm having a hard time replacing because, I haven't tried the 3's yet, but I hope I have the results

Installed after buying cruiser

Had stock tires on the cruiser (Road Star 2015) that was following all cracks and snakes in the road. Bumps and holes were hard hitting making this bike feel cheap. Cornering was not accomplished without doubt. All gone with the Commanders. Running 42psi rear and 40 front. Can't recommend highly enough. Don't know for wet or longevity yet. 4stars as you have to rate.

My go to

I run a shop in Northern California. I also ride the heck outta Harleys every day. I don't drive cars or trucks. I ride hot rod custom Harleys. 40k plus miles a year sometimes. The Commander 2 is my go too. The design is great. Holds up to the demands a high HP/TQ engine throws on it. It handles the power in the rain better than any other. I don't get the best mileage out of them. But none of the tires I've used on my bikes do for the mostpart( I ride like a wildman. So I'm hard on tires). I can't say enough about em. My new favorite combo is the Commander 3 rear. And Commander 2 front. Highly recommend these tires. The comfort, and performance is unmatched
