Tires MICHELIN or LANDSAIL

The pilot sport all season 4 are a huge upgrade over the stock Bridgestones!

If performance is your thing, go with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Absolutely fantastic rubber with a--in Canada--50k treadwear mileage warranty.

I loved the grippiness of Michelin tires. But just know that your gas mileage will probably decrease due to the stickiness...

Michelin tires are generally considered top of the line in almost every category (when speaking about all season performance/road noise).

For better grip Michelin defenders good but expensive and you’ll lose 10% +/- mpg.

Try Michelin road 6’s if you want more of a touring/long life tire.

If you don’t ride hard, get a Michelin road 6.

I would go for Michelin.

I had commander 2s on my V-Star 650 and commander 3s on my Road Star. They perform pretty similarly in my opinion. My only gripe with the 3s is that they get this harmonic resonance at certain speeds. I thought my engine was having a fit. Turns out it wasn't the engine, the 3s just like to hit that sweet spot and send vibrations in waves. It's hard to describe.

Just replaced mine at 24k, and this was after comments from a tire shop when rotating them that they were shot at 17k. I bought a tread gauge and sure enough they were all in the red, and the inner front tires were bald.
