Michelin Commander 2 launches a new motorcycle tire which delivers unrivaled tire life. Independent tests carried out in the United States using a Harley-Davidsonr Electra Glider Classic prove it: a rear MICHELIN Commander II is capable of covering up to 40,000 kilometres. That\'s nearly twice the distance covered by its direct competitors, while the longevity of the front tire is even greater. The MICHELIN Commander II creates a new standard with regard to durability, yet without making any compromises in terms of wet weather grip, maneuverability or stability. This performance balance provides yet another eloquent illustration of Michelin\'s research and development philosophy: no performance gain to be achieved on one front to the detriment of another.ØØ ØØØ ØØØ ØØØ ØØØ ØØØ ØØØ ØØØØØ In response to the major problem faced by custom motorcycle riders - tire life, notably at the rear -, the engineers at the Michelin Technology Centre at Ladoux, near Clermont-Ferrand (France), have developed a new rubber compound. The carcass of this new radial tire is associated with Silica Rain Technology (SRT) which integrates silica into the compound of the tire tread, while the MICHELIN Commander II\'s tread pattern has been designed to prevent all forms of uneven wear.ØØ ØØØ ØØØ ØØØ ØØØ ØØØ ØØØ ØØØ ØØØ Ø The exclusive architecture of the MICHELIN Commander II brings both maneuverability and stability. The tire\'s more rigid, high-density carcass improves maneuverability, while the aramid fibre crown ply of the rear tire enhances resistance and lightness for impeccable stability, even at high speedsØØ ØØØ ØØØ ØØØ May ship out of alternate warehouse so please allow 1 to 2 extra days for delivery.
