So if I read correctly?? Commanders have a positive approval over E3's?? Im starting to look around. Dunlop, Michelin, Metz.


I was a huge fan of the E3 until the commander came out. I was an early adapter and am on my 3rd rear commander. The thing I dislike about the E3 is the side cupping that occurs about mid way through the tire life. You sound like a truck with snow tires.


That's what my ME880s are doing -- it doesn't seem obnoxiously loud, but I wear earplugs so I may just not hear it. You can definitely see it and feel it, though.

Great video. So is a Vision a heavy bike or a sport bike? Interestingly Michelin made tires to fit HD cruisers in bias ply. The part showing the traction patch confuses me a little bit. Riding the E3 and the Commander II, I find the Commander II has better wet road traction, not that either tire is that spectacular on a wet road.

Just pulled the Metzler ME880 off it had 17 thousand on it and was right at the end of the wear bar. Put on a Avon Cobra. I think it corners a little better and no tar snake problem.
If tar snakes move your front end its time for a new tire
