Have only had the tires on for one week, but alresdy like them better than dunlop. Wanted to go with Dunlop, but they don't make a tire for a 2006 ultra with the new tread design, guess they don't want the older bike market. Had a michelin commander on the rear before, but put the new commander 2s on both front and rear because of the new tread design. So far they seem to do everything they claim. To early to know about tread life, but we shall see. I would say Michelin has a big hit on their hands. Thanks to Chaparral for a great price!

Tires ride badly. Michelin customer service is ZERO. Took off after 100mi and put my old Dunlops back on untill I decide on another set.

I cannot comment about tread life, since I've only put about 500 miles on the tire, but the overall performance seems as good as the Metzeler it replaced with the added benefit of being quieter on most road surfaces. Very good tracking on steel deck bridges.

Hard to say on Tread Life just over 600 miles. First 100 miles were to feel out new tires and run some heat cycles. Here in Florida in August 20-30 miles will give them some heat. The next 100 was pushing more and more to find the slip point. Now I'm just loving them.

I only have 1000 miles on this tire, so I can't speak of tread life. I have 3-4 thousand miles on it's matching rear tire. When I first added the front tire the bike seemed very sensitive to wind, from any direction, and irregularities in the road surface. It would feel like it wanted to swing out from under me. After wear in and getting used to it I am totally comfortable with it's handling characteristics and tracking cornering ability. I would recommend it to a friend. If it gets the promised mileage I will be a true fan.

I only have about 100 miles on them so far but they do handle very well and the ride is better than the Dunlops that came on my road king. Tread life I don't know because I only have about 100 miles on them. Great Price.

Tires have not been run in rain yet but otherwise are a big improvement over the stock Dunlop D402. After a weekend trip of about 600 miles, they ride great, handle great and are good on open grate bridges. I bought them after the claims of much higher useable tread life.I generally ride about 12,000 miles a year round, so I'm hoping the rear last 2 years or more. Another big surprise is the low price. Front and rear cost me $239.00 compared to stock replacements costing $340.00 and only lasting 1 year.

Very fast shipping, and seems to be a good quality tire. Noticed big difference In ride and handling , all for the better. A big step up from stock Dunlops. Have not been in rain yet so can't comment on that, 700 miles on them an nubs are still there, hopefully they will be all that Michelin claims they will.

Tire tracks true as it goes where you point it and it doesn't follow concrete lines on road like other front tires do.

I've had many tires on my 2005 electric glide classic (70,000) and these tires are the Best tires ever made for a motorcycle. Just like Michelin's for your car, these ride, corner, brake and handle better than any other tire out there. You'll notice the difference after the first ride. Don't know about the wear yet, as I only have 300 miles on them so far. Buy both front and rear, install them and you'll be writing a review just like this one.

I already have 8,000 miles on these tires and they show little sign of wear. I have been on Hwy 129 Tail of the Dragon three times with them and they perform exceptionally well. The heavy grooves on the outer sidewalls are noticeable in heavy turns when the bike is leaning hard, but it is manageable. They are surprisingly stable in heavy rain conditions and do not hydroplane as bad as my stock tires did. I will definitely stay with these tires, if they ever wear out.

I have yet to experience a negative with these tires. I tried them on a whim, looking to find the best for my budget as well as my ride. I'm a daily rider so I'm in and out of varying conditions in both weather and traffic situations and I must say these are probably the the best tires that have ever been slapped on a roadking. At least, they are the best that have ever been on mine.

This tire has been the best tire ever. I used to burn through tires in a couple of thousand miles. So far the back tire has lasted well over 10k and the front tire has superior performance and quality over the competitors. I would recommend these tires to anyone who is looking for something better at a comparable cost

These tires have been on my bike now longer than the stock Dunlops and don't even show signs of wear yet. I have been on the Tail of the Dragon 3 times and have rode coast to coast and after 12k, they still look new. They handle exceptionally in water and have very good traction. I have a 2012 Limited and even loaded down, have no problem leaning it over enough to scrape foor pans and mufflers. These are the only tires I will ever have on my bikes.

Just put the tire on and went for a ride. I have always run Dunlop on my big Harleys, but this tire rides much smoother, looks great also. If it wears as the manufacturer claims, I will be running them from now on. Very pleased with the price and quick shipping. Thanks guys.

This is the only tire that will ever be on my bikes from now on. I put this set on my 2012 HD Limited and they lasted well over 20k miles before showing signs of wear. I have been on the Tail of the Dragon and have ridden in heavy rain and I am not a "fair weather" rider, I ride every day. I will assure you that these tires are the best on the market, these guys that have left bad feed back have no clue what they are talking about or they don't know how to ride. I have these tires on my Rocker also which runs a 240 back tire and it also is wearing better than anything I have ever had and it is so much better in wet conditions. Everyone that I have convinced to try these tires has told me that they will always run them.
