Michelin Commander II
03/25/12 at 21:36:27

Well I bit the bullet and bought one .

Found this add :

new standard in cruiser tire longevity
•Independent tests* show that the Michelin® Commander® II rear tire lasts almost twice as long its main competitors, the Metzeler ME880 and the Dunlop D407/408

That the tire I'll ride the DRAGON with in a few month , with a Avon RoadRunner on the front. The Avon grip was more than enough for the Radial TA on the back , it will be interesting to see how it does with the Michelin.

Time will tell !

The Car tire BFGoodrich Radial TA was a nice ride , but couldn't take the lower tire presure and keep its cords intacted at the same time !

I see and feel the Holy Spirit in the world , as does anybody who has eyes to see.

IMO, Almost Twice as long has got to be at least 1.666 times as long, & it doesnt matter about miles vs. Km.

Posts: 5837 LYNCHBURG TN Gender:	Re: Michelin Commander II Reply #5 - 03/26/12 at 08:40:23 I can be satisfied with 25,000 miles. Now "Where Can We Go!" ? My last tank-full averaged out to 63 mpg. but that wasn't "OldFeller" style driving ! Tire life may be closely related to Fuel millage. So if a person get 40 mpg on a savage ... how long does their tire last ?

I wonder if any tests have been done based on the weight of the driver. I know when my daughter gets on my MPG goes down.

Did you know the Savage had a weight limit?
