New Tires on The Bike
Replaced the OE tires a few weeks ago, Was starting to respond kind of loose and some wobble from stops on turns.
Had Michelin Commander II put on front and back, OE had 16,000 miles and could have gone more but had a split in the center of the tread of the rear tire.
Very happy with these, handles like a dream.Always keep 2 feet away from your shadow

Had excellent luck with Michelin Com II's .. There is a Michelin Com III out now some swear by, but I have already ordered COM II's for my Dyna as they have done very well on my ride anyway ..

Hey Joel, Good to hear from you!! I've had very good results with the Com II, actually been through a couple of sets. I think next time I might try the Com III.

Having switched to a lighter bike a few years ago now I have a 98 Fatboy I did a lot of investigation and I found for the price people really like the kenda cruise ..I think it’s 673 I bought a set over the winter for $60 each tire. As the tires on the bike when I bought it several years ago we were over 10 years old still had a lot of tread original Dunlop’s, but I could Feel even on dry pavement when I would come up to a stoplight and hit the brakes hard it could slide easily the compound was getting quite hard. I have put these on in the spring time and they seem quite grippy in rain and dry I think they could probably outperform what I would do as I’m not much of a daredevil anymore. Lol

Interested to know how they work out for you .. Will be installing my New Michelin Com II's got for a Great Price in another week or two but my Dyna is close to a Sportster having a Sportster Front End and might consider them next time around ..

So far i really like the Commander 3. Got front and back. Smooth ride. Feels secure on corners. Really notice the difference from the Dunlop's

Good to hear .. Never been fond of the OEM Dunlops for a Sportster or Dyna either one although the OEM Elites on a Touring Model were Fine .. Originally Posted by ImMrBill
