Longevity, wet grip and handling performance for your touring bike
Enhaced longevity(1)
Longevity continued from the MICHELIN COMMANDER II tyre, even with loaded bikes, due to a new compound mix incorporating MICHELIN Silica Technology and optimisation of the contact patch.
Improved grip (1)
The MICHELIN Silica Technology provides enhanced wet grip (1) in comparison with the MICHELIN COMMANDER II tyre.
Excellent handling
MICHELIN Aramid Shield Technology combined with its new profile give the MICHELIN COMMANDER III Touring tyre enhanced handling when cornering, exceeding that of the MICHELIN COMMANDER II tyre

Michelin are the only tyres I use. Commander 3 have good grip and great mileage.

Purchased Commander 3 touring tires for my 2014 street glide. Lots of vibration, weird tracking and noise. Had alignment checked, wheel bearings and axles replaced.. must be the tires.

On what tire date code did you go into production with the new front tire tread design? People are trying to avoid buying the older tires that have the vibration and noise issues, and it's not always easy to determine looking at the tread pattern.
