I love the fact you use your bike, ride in all weather, and just love it!
I love the American Elites. Good grip, rain or shine. Very long life and neutral handling.
The Dunlap American Elite is the best and it’s made in America
That’s what I’m running and I love them
I have run the Dunlop American Elites for thousands of miles. Fabulous tire.
American Elites all the way. Made in America.
Yes sir!
That's what i run. Great tire!
Hi Mr. John! Congratulations! Sweet looking tires! Thank you for introducing us to options for tires and your personal feedback / experience with the tires. Very helpful information.
We are excited for you regarding your upcoming journey! We are hoping to connect with you as you come west. We believe that you mentioned Glacier park. If so, we are hoping to drive down from Calgary, Alberta, Canada to meet with you. OR, if interested in coming north, we open our home for your visit and to ride amazing beautiful Canadian Rockies.
Please let us know if interested!
I’ve always run with the commander II’s. So when it was time for new tires, I put some commander III’s on my bike before taking an 8000 mile trip across the country. Those tires vibrated my feet and my hands between 65 and 85 mph. I had other work done on the bike, so I thought maybe something else was wrong but when I did some research I discovered that that is an issue with these III’s. I changed tires and no vibrations. Now I’m gun shy to go back to commanders.
Just put two new commander 3's on last Friday, already put 2k miles on em over the weekend, up to Kentucky to see the ark rode the dragon twice and back to work today😒
Best Tires: Metzler Cruisetec - TBH I miss Mad Max. This one just not panning out for me... Mad Max was a piece of art... Get the new Trashin VVT cover is sick.
Be patient my friend 👊
U do any cold riding on those Cruistecs?
How long did they last ?
@@geraldgoodiii6993 I live in Az so not much cold weather riding, just simply best tires all around I ever had on my Harleys.
A year ago you loved your metzeler cruise tec tires, they were the best. Its all about the sponsors
No Doubt!
Totally untrue never said they were the best, truth be told. I had to get the Metzler’s because at that time the Michelin’s weren’t available. if you have been a long time watcher of my channel, I’ve repeatedly said hundreds of times that my favorite tire was the Michelin commander threes. Sorry to disappoint you.
when you get free tires and there's a stack of them in your garage of course they will be the best. You tube influencers are entertainment. Don't confuse for anything else and everything will be ok. I'd probably do same if I got a free bike and unlimited amount of upgrades for free, I'd probably do the same. after all why would you put a suspension that's designed for occasional passenger if you ride solo. FREE.
@@CYCLEFANATIXI remember then you installed Metzelers you clearly stated that Commander 3 was your favorite tire! It’s mine as well. I just installed Metzeler CruiseTec and had to take off the front tire and put stock Dunlop back on because CruiseTec rode too rough. I’m going w Commander 3 next.
Good to see you at the shop. Hope to ride with you soon.
Yes, I tried the C3's a few years ago when they first came out. The rear tire was fine...put 15k on it. Went through 2 fronts...both out of round and vibrated terribly at highway speeds. I put on a Dunlop and was perfectly smooth. Not sure I'd try the C3's again...I know they had a bad run, but was burned twice.
I just posted a similar comment before I read yours.
Yup,had mc3 on mine too
.same problem,going with elites next round
Same
nice althernative would be Shinko 777, cheap and grippier at expense of short lifespan. Also one of the few brands offering them in 19 and 21 inch white wall. Anyway when it comes to tires - don’t be cheap. Best for long distance cruising and tread wear would be Metzler Cruise Tec, Michellin Commander III or even stock Dunlops American Elite
Shinko tires don't last!
I cheaped out and changed to 777's
Caught a roofing nail and found out how bad that rubber is when I tried to plug it just to push the bike.
Changing both tires before I ride it again.
Even if they cost less, the effort to change them twice, or the money to pay someone
else, erases the savings.
If you doubt what I'm saying, push a screwdriver into a 777,
Then try it with a good tire.
The good tire takes 5X more effort to puncture.
I did this in the old tire pile.
You might as well run tire tubes as far as I'm concerned!
(Slight exaggeration)
First time I tried these about year ago I went through 2 front tires that were defective and found out they had a bad run of these and the front tires would give you a buzzing or vibration at certain speeds. After the second one I changed to the cruise tech . I ran the C2 on a dyna and streetglide and loved them but after the experience with the C3 I don’t know I’ll ever try them again especially the cost of these.
Yep yep. Factual.
I had the same issue with the Commander 3, defective front tire (16"). Ran C2's for years and loved them. Just can't risk throwing money away again on C3's.
I have the commander 2’s on my Dyna, I had dunlops before.. they were cracking and splitting, and I couldn’t grip well with the dunlops. Michelin’s are absolutely the way to go.
John my man, i just replaced my oem tires with the Metzler Cruisetec tires. They're great tires, i run them on another bagger. But i do run the Michelin Commanders 2's on my other bagger. Great tires as well...
I thought on your last bike you swore by metzler?
Awesome ride safe and enjoy always enjoy watching
I agree!! I've been running Michellen Commander tires for some time and they are great with no issues. They are suburb in wet weather
I just took commander 3s off n went back to Dulap American Elite. The Michellen 3s slipped 3 different times n the pucker power was more than I could handle.
I also lost grip with the commander 2 went to the Elite and never looked back. The Elite in my experience is the best of all tires
Stock tires definitely suck, but I'm a Metzler guy for my touring bikes. Have Michelin on my BMW R9T but even when it's due for tires I'll probably stick with Metzler.
I have literally never heard anything good about those tires from anyone but you. It would take a lot for me to switch from Dunlop, and I have Michelin tires on all of my 4 wheel vehicles where they have a tire for that vehicle.
I ride on Metzlers for over 30 years handle awesome
Metzler tires are the way to go best tires
Big John, did you fill both tires with the Ride On-liquid wheel balance, as you’ve done before, as an xtra precaution?
No, I haven’t because I’m worried about the TPMS sensors, I did a little research, and some people say that it might mess them up
@@CYCLEFANATIX Good to know…. Ride On should give a statement to clarify. Thanks buddy.
I ran the metzlers and switched to the Dunlop American Elites huge improvement in handling and gives you confidence in all situations
Michelin Road 5 is the best tire I've ever had.
I had those tires on my Roadking and loved them great grip in the rain and dry I’ll be installing them on my Indian once it’s few for tires. Question how did you like the Metzeler Cruise tech tires? I’m looking at those as well. Keep doing what you do I enjoy the Videos 👍🏽
The Commander 3 is a awesome tire. I have 1k miles on mine and really like them. Much more grip. Had a little noise from fron tire at first,but that stopped after tire broke in.
I run the Kenda Kruz tires on my cruiser and I love them. They have good grip in dry and wet weather and the last a very long time.
Hey John
I follow your videos from Switzerland 🇨🇭😊 and thank you for your posts... 💪🏻
The best tyre for my Street Glide and Road Glide is the Bridgestone BATTLECRUISE H50. I ride over 12,000 miles on the rear tyre and around 5,700 miles on the front.
For me, this is the best tyre for my motorbikes.
Do you know these tyres in America?
Best regards
Tom
I grind the floorboard mounts of my 2021 Street Glide Special with the stock Dunlop's and got 12K miles out of last set. They did so good I bought another set. I run Rosso Corsa 4's on my ZX14R and can barely tell the difference in twisties but the Harley makes more scraping noises.
I did 6000 miles on my Dunlops…the “best” tire thing is subjective.
Michelin Commander 3 few months back ask your opinion what tires could you recommend me on Road glide that's right you recommended them 👍 Thank You John.
Stock tires that come My Road Glide suck
Thanks, bud! Great review. I’m sold!
Running the Michelle’s Vommander threes now. I absolutely love them.
Hi John, Ive got a Low Rider ST. Do you think the Commander 3's would be a good tyre for that bike? Or are they better suited for the extra weight of the touring models. Would appreciate your feedback.
The scorpions are the tire for the Lowrider st
Many thanks John, appreciate your opinion. Cheers, Steve@CYCLEFANATIX
Hi John, thanks for another great video! I’m about to buy tyres for my (just arrived) CVO ST, so this video had great timing for me. Any thoughts on why you picked the Touring version instead of the Cruiser version of the Commander 3? (I’m seeing online that the Cruiser model has even better handling and shorter stopping in the rain). Also, do you still like the tyres? Nothing funny so far? (I’ve seen people commenting on earlier gen commander 3 issues, I hope that’s all solved?). I had Cruisetecs on my FatBob and Michelin Road 6 on my K16B. Both were great, but the Michelins always gave me the best feeling, even in terrible weather conditions. Thanks! Maarten
Maybe it’s just me…. But is your front tire on backwards? Looks like it to me.
That looks like one busy shop. What state is this? All my private shops by me look like crack dens 😂😂
Hackensack Nj
I noticed that you didn’t use the ride-on, you used weights, was there a reason for that?
Yes, I’m not sure how it will react with the new bikes being that they have TPMS
I’ve worn a tire like a fkn hoola hoop before
I’ve had em strapped up against the tour pack.
Gonna try that way u got em next time
Wondering if you still use the Ride On Sealant in your tires.
What shocks are you running on your new Road Glide?
Wilbers
I like the comander 3 they ride better and if you drive over a cut in the road or a tar snake they hold so good.
Thanks for the video👍🏽
I could not agree more! The commander III are the best tire
👊🏻What’s up Sir👊🏻 I need a new back tire ASAP.
Make sure they are installed with the direction arrows set correctly...
They look backwards to me.
I've never used them so I'm just asking...
Good Looking Tire especially for those Rainy Days 😊
American Elite for me. Got to Sturgis found my front tire Michelin Commander 3 had cupped and not due to under inflation. No support in Sturgis from Michelin they were no where to be found! Apparently Michelin had some bad batches and wouldn't stand behind their product! Never again will I buy Michelin
John do you plan on running the tires with Ride-On TPS in them for the long trip. Looking foward to the review when you return.
why you didn't like about the cruisetech on MadMax carbon wheels ? looks like you prefer the Michelin ?
Yes, it’s just the feeling of confidence that the Michelin tires give you. You have to experience it for yourself.
Damn son, thats a great looking bike! ( just bought one but white onyx) Love the factory seat but looking to upgrade it for a Saddlemen. Which model is yours? One last thing, how tall how are you? Im 6, just wondering it this one would be a good fit
I rock the Michelin Road 6 for me the best Tire ever made
At 66 I have been riding for well over 50+ years since back in Tennessee in the early 70s you could get a motorcycle license at 14. I have tried all of the major players in motorcycle tires and their versions from Avon,Dunlop,Michelin,Continental,Bridgestone,Pirelli and Metzeler.
I run Metz on my Harley and also my KTM 1290 SDR. Best tires I have ever had, not even close. I will give up a few miles for the ride quality and handling characteristics. Here in the south tar snakes are sadly everywhere and I never liked the Commander line of tires. If you are running straight line interstate they are fine but that’s a boring way to travel. Last year I was out with a friend riding and one guy who was in the group had a pretty new Goldwing. When he pulled out I looked at his rear tire and I thought that looks like a damn car tire. At the next stop he confirmed it 😂. It looked really weird when he took some curves. I had heard of it but never actually seen it until then. Anyway, another good vlog, ride safe 👍
Good advice on the tires…when I need new ones I’ll get those thnx for the info….on another note I am wanting to change the rear break lever on my 2022 street glide st cuz it’s just too high above the floorboard and my foot is underneath it and is uncomfortable and awkward to use it…do you have a Thrashin supply one that is a bit lower and a bit more forward than stock? If so would you recommend that? Or what do you think of the ones that kuryakin makes if you are familiar? Your opinion would be appreciated thnx
Nah
C3 were FANTASTIC on my fatboy but shit on my road king
Buzzing at 30mph on the front
Many others experienced
Broke loose super easy when wet.. I’ve had very good luck with oems in the wet. And the cold. Light snow not so much lol
They do last FOREVER tho
20k
Been on the OEMs on my RG.. just got some Cruistecs . Can’t wait for em to go on !!!
I hear they great in all conditions
Great video as always John!! 💯🤘🏻!! Chrome wheels would look freaking awesome!! I gave you and Cam a big shout out on my latest video ( posted it on Monday) . Keep up the great work and ride safe 🇺🇸🤘🏻💯!!
I was thinking of the Michelin 3s but serval web sites 3 out 5 people had problems with front tire. I ended up going with Cruisetecs
I put a set of commander 3 touring on my ‘19 road king special in 2020. I had a major vibration and checked the balance, I had the front tire replaced in Deadwood, ended up going back to the HD tires because of the issue. The vibration went away. The vibration would occur really bad about 50-55 mph. I even have a video of the vibration with the high pitch scream. Michelin worked with the dealer to take care of the tires. Do you know if they have made any changes to the tires since 2020?
Fresh off the phone with a Harley Tech. Front vibration in tires. Thanks Michelin Commander 3’s 😂
The commander 2 were great tires put 300k on those. The commander 3s aren’t as good. Had 3 front tires cup every time . Less miles on the back.
The American elite is great. And last longer. Put 80k on these. You’ll get 18k on rear and 23k on fronts and no cupping.
Tires look nice and durable .....thanks
I like them they work great on my Low Rider st.
Hey don’t know if u remember but I’ve almost finished the club dyna project
I thought you said Cruze tec was the best a few vids back on the last bike
Any reason you didn’t use the balancing fluid (Ride-On) this time?
🚬😎 Fast service is good to know people. In and out.
Safe travels
Will you be going through West Virginia? Also how is suspension?
I thought you liked Metzler Cruiserec tires?.
I did like them, never said they were the best. At the time that’s what was available. The Michelin commander three tires I have always loved and felt most confident with
Chrome wheels! Do it. Nice.
Good job!
Don’t you use the ride on balancer goo anymore?
Nice video nice bike go dark side Cycle Fanatix
Metzler is better choice.
Did you choose the cruiser or touring version ?
Touring
Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus 205/55R17😀get over 80k miles consistently !
I'm installing a cruisetec right now.
Eh I have to disagree as the best. My experience with them wasn’t that great They had a weird vibration at about 30 mph and again at 60. (In a straight line) Supposedly they had it fixed and I tried again. Still had it. It’s Dunlap American Elites now. Love them and will never look back. Tires mean way too much !!!
I rn Dunlops always have never let me down!!!!!
Metzlers are the best
Agreed. I'm running the Marathon ME888. Feel really good.
I love to watch the chicken strips develop on my 200 MM Metzler, then I go find some twisties to burn them off. She always hooks up even when I get a little sideways and if you want to do a burn out you’ll need to have the bike more straight up … J. turns from a dead stop are a a no go… or get 75% thru the turn then drop the clutch rev it point that tire and hang on.
Did you pay for the michelins?
Like I said in the video, I’ve used them many times and always loved the tire. I paid for plenty of sets
It looks like they are installed the wrong way
Is it Sandy flying above and videobombing you 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don’t think they have these tires for a Trike!
i disagree i had them and the handling is not so great i prefer AVON Cobra Chrome they are way better
What?!!! No carbon wheels?
I got 29K km on my Commander 3s
👊👊👍
Dunlop American Elite's, hand down a much better tire.
I like Michelin Commander 3
