Review: Great tires in the rain. - Absolutely up there with the top 3 cruiser tires. On my 2nd set. The tread pattern has a huge patch in the middle that one would think to be a possible area of concern in wet weather. Not the case. I have first hand experience with these. 6 hours of torrential rain during a trip to Newfoundland. My final leg of the journey, and only rain day. 570 km, Gander to Port Aux Basque on my 2007 CVO Softtail Springer, it could not have rained harder. Troughs of water covered the road causing the on coming traffic, especially tractor trailers, to push large waves that would bounce off my chest and left leg. I soon discovered that the Michelin Commandor III was an exceptional rain tire. The bike plowed through all the very large puddles, with confidence. No hydroplaining what so ever. Great all-round tire. Now, if I can only get them to last more than 8000 km. Review: The legendary Commander III at a great price. - Perfect! Have always been a fan of commander threes. It is the only tires I will run on my HD Softail Crossbones Springer. Great tire for so many applications. Great price. Shipped quickly. Thank you. ## Features - The newest Michelin tire for all types of V-twin cruisers and touring bikes. - Exceptional Wet Grip for Cruiser Bikes. - Michelin Commander III Cruiser tires offer the best wet grip and the shortest stopping distances in wet conditions among leading competitors (based on internal tests). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B083F6BTP7 | | Automotive Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Brand | Michelin | | Brand Name | Michelin | | Construction Type | Radial | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 88 Reviews | | Included Components | Tire | | Item Diameter | 17.4 Inches | | Item Dimensions | 65.3 x 20.1 x 65.3 centimeters | | Item Type Name | Touring | | Item Weight | 7.28 Kilograms | | Load Capacity | 425.02 kg | | Load capacity | 425.02 kg | | Manufacturer | MICHELIN | | Manufacturer Part Number | 23119 | | Model Number | 23119 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Ply | High-Ply | | Rim Size | 17 Inches | | Rim Width | 6.25 Inches | | Rim size | 17 Inches | | Seasons | Year Round | | Size | 200/55R-17 (78V) | | Speed Rating | V | | Speed rating | V | | Tire Aspect Ratio | 55 | | Tire Diameter | 25.7 | | Tyre aspect ratio | 55 | | UPC | 086699231192 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Michelin - **Rim size:** 17 Inches - **Size:** 200/55R-17 (78V) - **Speed rating:** V - **Tyre aspect ratio:** 55 ## Images ![MICHELIN Commander III Cruiser Rear Tire - 200/55R-17 (78V) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51rYGVGkcSL.jpg) ![MICHELIN Commander III Cruiser Rear Tire - 200/55R-17 (78V) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cARnDW+vL.jpg) ![MICHELIN Commander III Cruiser Rear Tire - 200/55R-17 (78V) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/4117dnmDlJL.jpg) ![MICHELIN Commander III Cruiser Rear Tire - 200/55R-17 (78V) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61K8JJgGHjL.jpg) ![MICHELIN Commander III Cruiser Rear Tire - 200/55R-17 (78V) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ttSoSedSL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Tire pressure for the commander III, does michelin have a suggested psi or do i go with my original tire spec for psi?** A: Our recommendation is to use the info on the placard (located on the frame), or consult the bike manufacturer. **Q: Is this a tube tire** A: It's a tube less tire .
