Michelin Commander II Tires on 1983 GS850 GL
I am running this newer tire offering from Michelin on my 850.
I thought they would be a good tire - they promise longevity due to a dual compound construction and yet good traction.
Many feel they are designed for the HD market - but they come in many sizes for our GS bikes too.
Initially I liked the way they looked, and mounted them easily. They grip well in corners and ride smooth and quiet so far.
No cupping but it is early . They seem to hold pressure well - I have checked them often and have yet needed to add air .
Only 1250 miles so far... But here is a look at the tread patterns as of today ... -
