Commander 2 tires on their PC and generally liked it until they experienced some
rubbing issues on the rear tire. I too, aprox. 3.5 months ago purchased and
mounted Michelin Commander 2 tires on my PC, 140/90/15 rear,130/80/17 front. So
far, no issues on rubbing, and like the feel. Have done mountain rides, 2 up/1up
interstate, and various touring thus far. July 1, I replaced the upper shock
bushings, so I took measurement of swingarm to tire clearance, aprox. 6 mm. Hope
this helps with some of the earlier questions.
