Commander II
Is anyone running Michelin 180 / 65 / 16 Commander II on your bike? If so any issues?

I'm running them front and back. Very good tire. Hoping to get over 20K out of them like advertised!

Yes - front and back. But, they are brand new with less than 10 miles on them. The Nomad sits in my basement in Nebraska while I work in NC. That will soon change as my "big ride" west this June and July will exceed 8,500 miles in 32 days!!!

I have 130 on the front and 150 on the back of my '04 Nomad.
Can't complain a bit. Great tires. Only other tire I would put next to it would be the Pirelli P66. They ride great too. May not last like the commander II's though.

Just put one on the front. Whatever tire you go with, get the bead balance as well. Never used it before, but when I had my front Michelin put on, instead of the weights, I went with bead balance (silicone beads put inside the tire that roll around with the wheel). Supposedly increases tire life, better balances and gives a better ride. I only have it on the front and I did notice a big difference in riding.

Has anyone ran a Commander II 150/80r-16 Rear tire on the front? I really want to stay with the wider tire.

I agree with this 1000%, I love the feel of the bike in corners with the 130 up front. Bike is way more responsive and the look is not that much different.

Been back riding only the last couple of years after to long of a vacation and replaced my stock tires with the commanders and have nothing but good to say about them, took the advice of most of the guys on here and bought a set and after about 11,000 kms I don't have one regret
