Michelin Commander II

2003 Wing. They don't technically make a tire that meets spec but they do make:
130/70 B18
180/65 B16
Bias (not radial) and the rear is slightly taller than spec.
Supposed to be a very good tire for heavy bikes and if you don't get too rowdy you should be able to get 20k-25k miles out of it.

I just mounted a set yesterday. The rear is a taller tire. When the speedo says 77 its actually 80 by my GPS app thing. Bike didn't pitch me off because of the bias tires. Been running bias tires on radial equipped bikes for decades. I can't tell the bike knows the difference.
The rear tire mounted right up and aired up perfect. Was a little concerned about the more narrow rear versus the 6" rim width. No worries, works great. I do mount and balance my own tires.

Wheels and TiresMy year old Goldwing has 6,850 miles on it and already the stock tires need to be replaced. I don't ride two up, don't carry much additional weight (and I weigh about 200 lbs.), rarely start out fast, and almost never have the bike in sport mode. Except for the low mileage, I don't see any...- 1

Avon Cobra tire vibration?
Wheels and TiresI recently picked up a 2008 GW with a set of tires that say Cobra on the sidewall, I'm assuming they are Avons? When starting a lean into a turn, either to the left or right, I can feel a very slight vibration in the bike which appears to be coming from the tires. They are fairly new with I'd...- 6

Wheel cleaning
Wheels and TiresI have 1500 km on my new 08 wing and my wheels seem to be starting to discolor already. By that, I mean there are white streaks through them that I cannot get off. I bought "Bluemagic" metal polish cream and spent an hour cleaning them and although they did clean a lot of the road dirt off...- 19

Dark side tire
Wheels and TiresNoticed a number of opinions about car tire handling and safety concerns. Just wondering if a car tire does handle well in turns, wet roads, etc. What size is compatible on a 2016 goldwing? Is the mileage equal to a Bridgestone or Dunlop? I know the car tire is cheaper, but safety is always...- 20

96SE New tires
Wheels and TiresI just bought a set of Avon Cobra Chrome AV91 and AV92 bias ply tires for my 96SE. I found them on Walmart's website, of all places. Date codes are March and May of 2019. Both tires + tax - daughter's 10% discount = $230, shipping was free. Even without the discount $250 for a set of tires...- 1
