That's like asking your Chevrolet dealer if it's a good idea to buy a Toyota.

Every Car tire you mount is 3 motorcycle tires they don't sell you.

Do the math . . .

I just met for the the first, a guy who tried a CT and didn't like it. He told me that he only rode it for about 10 minutes before he said, "Take it off".

10 minutes? Really? Did he get in 5 miles and 8 or 10 turns into that? I took a longer test ride than that on my Nomad before I bought it.

I'm trying to think which one of these little smileys looks most like the guy at the tire shop when I told him I needed just one tire, for my motorcyle.

Kind of like this,

or maybe this one

And I'm saying

, that's right bud. You selling tires today or not?

So what are you guys riding in your front tire? I'm considering michelin commander II's - rear in the front (double dark).

i could use some more feedback about this

You're over thinking it. Their is NO perfect tire. Pick a tire. Keep it properly inflated. Ride.

The commander II is supposed to be the new hotness..

Going for $129 - I guess i'll be a forerunner for a change, and report back.

A Pirelli MT66 rear up front is what I ran on my V star ( great tire )

It's ordered! I'll keep you all posted as to the quality of the Commander II's.
Again, i'm putting a rear tire up front.
