Michelin Commander 3 Cruiser Tires In the beginning, Michelin created the Commander II. Now there is the Commander III. The Michelin Commander III Tire is the embodiment of the tire maker's "Michelin Total Performance" promise: dry performance, wet weather grip and longevity. Building on the powerful reputation of the Commander II Tire, the Commander III promises to raise the standards for V-twin and cruiser tires to an all-new level. The Commander II offered dry handling and sure-footed wet stiction with virtually none of the expected penalty to tire longevity. Michelin's road testing on full-size touring motorcycles verified that the tire was capable of reaching up to 25,000 miles. Now the Commander III enters the game with equally impressive dry grip, even better wet weather performance and greater expected longevity. Take note: Michelin has just created a new living legend and redefined the meaning of the "no-compromises" in world of motorcycle tires.
