Michelin Motorcycle Tires has launched the Commander II. Available immediately in 15 sizes in bias and radial construction, it offers a new standard in cruiser tire longevity and uncompromised handling and stability, Michelin says. The company says it has developed a new rubber compound to meet the long mileage demands of cruisers. The new compound also helps achieve excellent wet grip performance without compromising mileage. The tire also features a rigid, high-density carcass architecture, called Amplified Density Technology (ADT), which allows for maneuverability and feedback to the rider. Water dispersal is provided by longitudinal grooves in the tire tread pattern, enhancing grip in wet conditions.  The tire is wrapped up with a stylish sidewall and tread pattern.
