Looking to replace my front tire. I hear nothing but good reviews on the Commander II tires from Michelin. But looking up front tire sizes for my 03 America (110/90-18) I find the load rating for that tire is 567 lbs. So I'm guessing once I plop my fat a$$ on the bike, things are going to blow...... Am I correct??

I have commander II's on the front and back. They've been great so far. I'm 180 lbs. I don't think there's a weight issue. I can't say how they hold up since my bike's been sitting since the accident but From everything I've heard they're really good.

Awesome tires. I'm only 130 lbs, but I am on my 3rd set of Commander IIs, they wear fantastic and are sure footed in all weather( can't speak for the snow, but being 40,000 miles familiar with them, I think they would handle just fine.
