A 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 ME 880
and the Dunlop D407/408.
Innovative technology
• Amplified Density Technology: A highly dense, more-rigid tire casing,
which helps deliver excellent feedback and handling.
• Aramid tread plies on the rear tire resist centrifugal growth, reduce weight
and provide excellent stability.
• All-new rubber compounds for remarkable wet grip, without compromis-
ing
• durability.
• Square bead wires improve casing rigidity, handling
and ease of installation.
A groundbreaking new look
• Unique tread pattern for head-turning looks.
• Premium sidewall treatment complements cruiser
styling.

Michelin Commander 2 launches a new motorcycle
tire which delivers unrivaled tire life. Independent tests
carried out in the United States using a Harley-Davidson®
Electra Glide® Classic prove it: a rear MICHELIN
Commander II is capable of covering up to 40,000
kilometres*. That’s nearly twice the distance covered by
its direct competitors, while the longevity of the front tire
is even greater. The MICHELIN Commander II creates
a new standard with regard to durability, yet without
making any compromises in terms of wet weather grip,
maneuverability or stability. This performance balance
provides yet another eloquent illustration of Michelin’s
research and development philosophy: no performance
gain to be achieved on one front to the detriment of
another.
In response to the major problem faced by custom
motorcycle riders – tire life, notably at the rear –, the
engineers at the Michelin Technology Centre at Ladoux,
near Clermont-Ferrand (France), have developed a new
rubber compound. The carcass of this new radial tire
is associated with Silica Rain Technology (SRT) which
integrates silica into the compound of the tire tread, while
the MICHELIN Commander II’s tread pattern has been
designed to prevent all forms of uneven wear.
The exclusive architecture of the MICHELIN Commander
II brings both maneuverability and stability.The tire’s more
rigid, high-density carcass improves maneuverability,
while the aramid fiber crown ply of the rear tire enhances
resistance and lightness for impeccable stability, even at
high speeds.
