The Metz handle better than the dunlop's just hope they last as long. Very intrested in hearing if you like the michellin it's always good to have another choice. Good luck in your search.

- July 16, 2012, 15:01:06 PMWhen we bought our Aurora the ride wasn't what it should have been for that particular "advanced" feature automobile. The dealer replaced the stock tires with Michelin ... they absolutely lived up to the hype in this instance. We continued to use them on that vehicle until we gave it to our son... who still uses that brand.
Strangely... I use dunlop on the goldwing - have replaced them twice. They are very good on that bike. On the Drifter, dunlop sucked... have used several other brands but stuck with Metz... That said, Avon and Continental have new offerings which look interesting. The August issue of Rider has an article on bike tires.Posted by Troll
- July 16, 2012, 08:17:43 AMMy tradition, at least. I've been running Metzelers since about 1980 or so, but now I'm considering replacing the tires on my 1500 with the new Michelin Commander II. I've never been a Michelin fan, when it comes to car tires. I believe they have an undeserved reputation for quality, and their wet weather traction has never been as good as it could be...that said, I've been reading some reviews for the Commander II. So far, it seems that they may have a winner here, but I was wondering if anyone else might have some thoughts about it...
