Quote from: CDNRatMan on August 15, 2013, 11:03:11 AMon my commute to and from work I drive past 3 tire places and always get a charge out of their signs, buy 3 get one free, and the price. Well I want to see the sign that has the say as follows,
buy one tire for (price) and get 3 for free.
and the price is the same for both, wonder which would sell faster or more tires?
people fall for that stupid crap all the time.

- August 15, 2013, 08:02:18 AMI very happy with the tires. I was concerned with Michelins to start with since I never found a car tire that they made to worth much, especially in the rain. I stole the picture from Laura McNeely's site, so you could see the kind of precipitation I rode the mountain twistys in that finally convinced me the tires are good in the rain, too!

- August 14, 2013, 20:54:15 PMJust trying to crack a joke (tire humor - I sell tires for a living, don't forget). I knew they were groaners, but didn't mean to offend.
Please don't miss-understand. I am extremely interested. That's why I asked the serious question: Unless I miss-understand, Sounds like you are extremely satisfied with them? I'm going to need a rear tire, prob by the end of the year, or spring, so I AM interested.Troll, Once again, my apologies for offending. I always appreciate your input.

- August 14, 2013, 18:25:59 PMThis thread is very tiring...
So, to boil it down, Troll, this sounds like you're extremely happy with the Mich's? Or is this overstating it?
BTW, that's some great attire on your bike... (groan).....
I should now re-tire.

- August 14, 2013, 13:26:32 PMIt's been a year and about 10,500 miles since I put on the Michelin Commander IIs. The tread depth is 6.5/32 of an inch. At this rate, when the tire is worn to 2/32, I should have about 16,000 more miles. Averaging 4200 miles on 1/32. The front tire has 1/32 off it, for 4/32 tread depth. Best part, besides the mileage/traction/handling...the tread is not getting choppy on the front or the rear!
We are having a ride in bike show on the 25th, so I took the bike apart to get it clean, and it's an excuse to ride the "W" more. Figured I'd take a picture of the tire while it's apart.
