I've been running a 160 Metz, just wondered if they offered that in a Commander II. Looks like they don't. I might just go back to a Commander II 150 next time. I still have a season left on my 880s.

Out of curiosity I checked and on Michelins website they list the sizes
for the Commander II there is a 160 for the 16 inch rear
Funny thing is I used their tire fitment guide on the right side it recommends a 130 for the rear, don't think so, but if you click on the "show me more" link it will offer a 150 or 160 rear so there it is.
here is a link

you're right, I didn't have my glasses on, I see in size 16 you can get a 180 or a 140 besides the 150 that is stock.
Would not want to put a 140 and 180 would probably be to big for the stock swing arm.
I'm actually happy with the stock Michelins on my bike, for now, I only got about 500 miles on them all dry miles, had not tried them in wet weather yet.
,but on my old Rigid Evos I always replace the stock tires with aftermarket tires usually Metzlers. I liked the 880 series they seemed to hold up well and not follow rain grooves.
IMHO going with Michelins is not a bad move. |
