Michelin Commander III Cruiser
Verified3 reviews
Worst tyres ever in 40 years of riding – Right from the Harley shop a bad vibration in front wheel on a 2021 Heritage Classic motorcycle. Returned to dealer and all I got was terrible, they knew it was a design problem. Michelin agreed to replace it with a Touring front tyre. Will never buy Michelin again
I'm picking up BAD vibrations – I love, or have loved Michelin Tyres for a long time, but since fitting a set of commander 3's to my Triumph America, the vibrations are more than I can stand. I even rode over 400k to get the bike checked and came back, no fault found. Have since heard that these Tyres have a vibration. I now need to find a replacement.
Purchased in for $500.
- Tyre Mileage: 5,000 km
- Tyre Pressure Used: 38 PSI
Michelin commander 3 faulty vibrating tyre! – I recently purchased and had delivered, a set of Michelin Commander 3 Cruiser tyres for my Harley Davidson from Tyreman MC /Magwheel and Tyre in Preston Vic. After having the tyres fitted and balanced and the front being balanced twice, I have a persistent harmonic vibration, (buzzing feeling) in my handlebars between the speeds of 45 to 75 Kilometres per hour. I have reached out on forums and Facebook pages to see if other Harley riders have experienced this same issue, multiple people have. The front tyre is the faulty one in each case. I am getting no satisfaction from the seller or importer so far on solving this issue, or getting me a tyre I can safely ride on. I am on a pension so money is extremely tight. So be warned, look at another brand, or even Commander 2's if you can get them, don't risk your safety!

Follow up . I had a Pirelli tyre fitted yesterday to replace the commander 3 , and no more vibration ! Any other tyre would have done the job I am sure , but I would not take a chance with another Commander 3 . Shane .
