JD13,
I ordered a commander II and I've got it in my living room. Haven't gotten to taking off the rear wheel yet, but when I get it mounted I'll post a pic.
Sounds like Michelin is making a good MC tire. I look forward to trying it out. I also just noticed the beginnings of rot on my front. So maybe I'll use the roadpilot IV up front. Anyone else use the roadpilot tires?
Thanks a bunch for your input guys. I might've gotten a crappy tire without it!
