The summer motorcycle tire Michelin Commander II has a somewhat narrow scope of application, as it was specifically designed for "cruisers". In addition, this model is offered as a set, i.e. for the front and rear wheels. According to the representatives of the French manufacturer, its key features are durability, stable and reliable handling in any conditions.
Durability
Since the Michelin Commander II tire belongs to the new generation of tires from the French manufacturer, great attention was paid to ensuring the longest possible service life during its development. For this model, it is 40 thousand kilometers of mileage. Such high indicators were achieved due to a number of factors. First of all, this is the composition of the rubber mixture, which included a number of components that provided the tread with increased resistance to wear, punctures and cuts, as well as tear strength.
In addition, certain innovations have appeared in the design of the carcass. In addition to the cord made of aramid fibers, it received several additional layers of synthetic materials. This made it possible to increase the tire's resistance to aggressive external influences, while significantly reducing its weight.
Another factor that ensured a long service life for this model is the tread pattern. Its elements are arranged in such a way that the external load is distributed very evenly over the contact patch. This, in turn, significantly increased the tread's resistance to uneven wear.
Silica Rain Rubber Compound
This tire demonstrates excellent traction on wet roads largely due to the new rubber compound, which has been named Silica Rain. It is characterized by a high silica content, which not only provided the tread with increased elasticity but also gave it excellent resistance to abrasive wear.
Main advantages of the Michelin Commander II tire
- lightweight and very sturdy carcass based on an aramid fiber cord;
- long service life due to high resistance to uneven and abrasive wear;
- Silica Rain rubber compound providing the tread with increased traction properties on wet roads;
- tread pattern with numerous traction edges, allowing the tire to demonstrate excellent handling in any road conditions.
