Michelin Commander II Reinforced Motorcycle Tire Cruiser Rear - 150/80-16

The tire I received was manufactured the first week of 2025. I usually get my tires from a well known motorCycle shop where they sell tires and Gear, and the tires have always been a year old. Needless to say, I love the fact that this tire was made this year! Also, there was an error in shipping and the tires had to be re-shipped. The customer service from Avid Cycles was amazing. I don’t usually write reviews, but they deserve a good review for the way they handled the shipping issue and kept me informed. Thank you!

Had some old tires an through this bad girl on an I swear I can hit the Twisties an easy 20 mph quicker getting a front now ! Go commander's

This fit the Yamaha Bolt r-spec and it works well for me. I ride a lot of curvy mountain roads and these tires feel good and grip well. I had these in heavier rain a few times and I felt fine, of course I was being more cautious than usual but I believe these tires do better in the rain than my previous ones.So far I put about 2,000 miles on these tires and have not noticed significant wear. I can't say for sure but I am under the impression that these with last just as long or longer than the average tires.Installation wasn't too bad, I had to use tire weights. I also bought the front tire of this model and I noticed the death wobble went away. Before these, I had Bridgestone Exedras. It seems like those tires are stock and many Bolt riders complain of the wobble, so I am guessing the Bridgestone tires were too blame

So I've been running this tire along with the Commander II front tire on my Yamaha Road Star 1600 for a few months now.. the bike had some old Dunlop D404s when I got it, and they made the bike feel really sketchy and slippery in the corners and on dirt/gravel.. I have to say these Michelin tires really gave the bike a totally different feel. Way more stable and nimble in all conditions.. be it dry roads, bumpy roads, wet roads, twisty mountain passes, interstates, dirt/gravel roads, you name it, these tires excel across the board in all situations you could think of.. I've put over 5000 miles on my set already, including a 1800 mile round trip to Yellowstone/Grand Teton and back and the tires still look brand new! No noticeable tread wear whatsoever which is pretty remarkable.. I don't really have any experience with other tires besides the D404s but I would say these are probably the best choice for motorcycle tires on the market. They're more expensive than a lot of other tires but I personally think they're worth every penny.

Great ties

The tire I received did not have a clearly marked balance mark to show where the lightest side of the tire is to put by the air valve. This made the installation a bit more of trial and error than normal. Seems good quality but only have 100 miles on it.

How to installed on my 22 street bobGood quality good price

Perfect fit. Keep air pressure as the manufacture suggests. Great ride, like night and day last rear tire lasted me 60,000 miles.
