Competition accessories is starting to sell the Michelin Commander 2 (I think).

But not our size yet.

 

The link above is an article that has pictures and describes the new tread design and extended mileage claims. Michelin is pretty happy but I like the old design.

 

Says they will come in 15 sizes.

For the front, it does not include our stock size (150/80/16) but does carry the "small front", 130/90/16.

Rear, they do have our 150/90/15.

 

This link is the sales page on what they do have now (not our size):

I liked my Commanders on my '99 and was disappointed that they quit making them. We'll have to see how these new ones are and hopefully they will make the std size front for the RSV as I wont use the 130

Tread pattern is pretty close to the Avon and E3 tire patterns.
