Probably a hefty price tag to go with it.

If they actually get better grip and last longer (I have not got 5000 miles yet off a stop rear tire) it would be worth it to me. Not sure those 2 can be accomplished though.

They have had that one in the catalog for some time now.

5k on a rear tire?  you must be doing some hard riding.  i've got 15k on mine right now, and will probably make it to 20k before i have to change.

Hope this is correct. Prior posts had Michelin stepping up to the plate in late August with the Commander II, but that never materialized.

7,800k on the original D407 and 9,500k on the second one before the noise/vibration from the cupping became annoying and forced replacement.  Here's hoping that the "improved" rear tire for our CVO's unique size/load rating requirement will be available when I need it next August.

Yer not sposed to do a burnout at every stop sign.   :o

Or.....Alan, yer suposed to use the front brake once in awhile.   :confused5:

Or....should I tell these guys how you really ride.....or do you think they know by now?    :P    :bananarock: :mango: :pepper: :apple:

I've put over 7,000 on mine since I bought it and it had close to 5,000 on it then.  Still has more miles to go but stealer is running a special $225.00 installed on OEM Dunlap rear till the end of the riding season so I will probably replace early.

For me in Canada.....$625can-(225usx1.3)=$332.5can

Pays for a nice road trip.

But that price is probably not for the SG/RK rear.

Yeah, I thought that price was too good to be true for a 407.   If it was within 400 miles, I'd make that trip and still make out with paying for the gas.

yeah, didn't notice that at first.  the American elite already comes in that size, and since we were talking about the 18''.......  well, see what happens when you assume :carrot:
