7500 Mile Michelin Commander 2 Update / Review on the Indian Scout Bobber

[@BrandonBicasso]

You said to ride it so I RODE IT 😬😁😤🔥🔥🔥

[@TheBeardedBobber]

I’m glad you did brother!

[@MeatballRebel]

😆

[@ChadGrimes]

Brandon always gives it the beans! Lol

[@snowmanrainmaker]

🤯👍

[@pb77]

15_25? Damn! Wish they made sport bike tires that would last that long lol

[@TheBeardedBobber]

Right lol

[@johnh2055]

I like that shade of green on your bike, very nice.

[@TheBeardedBobber]

Thank you! She’s a different color now but I liked that green a lot.

[@RemboUSMC]

So I have a 2020 Indian scout bobber and it came with adventure tires made by Pirelli. I got about 6200 miles before I had to change the rear tire so I am actually changing of the front and back to the Michelin Commander III. I don't know why they would put adventure tires on an Indian scout bobber other than for looks.

[@TheBeardedBobber]

I actually just got a set of the IIIs. I’m liking them for the very short time I’ve had them. Ya I know jay fat in Canada did the ones like the new ftr and it looks cool but ya the bobbers don’t need them.

[@servicarrider]

What we need is a 50-60,000 mile motorcycle tire.

[@TheBeardedBobber]

Haha right

[@somedudeona6367]

I mean we can probably have that, but it would be so hard and not grippy that’s not worth it lol

[@servicarrider]

@@somedudeona6367 Do you believe that car tires are "hard and not grippy?"

[@somedudeona6367]

@@servicarrider they are definitely harder, but they can also get away with it due to have 4 vs 2. I don’t think they are much harder but they get worn down less due to them having 4. Sorry if that sounded repetitive

[@OpenRoader]

I had a look to see what the 2020 Bobber tires are, they are the Pirelli MT60. They are an All Terrain Tire. Interesting. I use the Pirelli Night Dragon's and love'em. Especially good in wet weather, which I have done a ton of riding in. Thanks for the up date on these tires. Many, many motovloggers love these Commanders, would absolutely consider them in the future.

[@TheBeardedBobber]

I’m glad they are paying attention to what people want.

[@Mafresita]

I was thinking of getting the night dragons. I went from the mt60 to the bridgestone exedra max and i was thinking of going back to the mt60 because of the look but then found the dragons. I got about 10k to 11 k on both previous sets

[@RickyNotSoMartin]

That Bobber looks awesome! Love those California views too!!!

[@TheBeardedBobber]

California has to be good for something lol Thanks brother

[@snowmanrainmaker]

I just got them a hundred and fifty miles ago and I love them too!

[@TheBeardedBobber]

Right on!!

[@TheGorillaBiker]

Loving my set so far!! It'll be interesting to see how they wear on my roads vs yours! :)

[@TheBeardedBobber]

I never thought about how these bad roads can make a difference but definitely interested to see how it varies state to state.

[@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA]

I have the Dunlop wide white wall cruiser max. 8k and going strong ! #supportmvc

[@TheBeardedBobber]

Very nice!

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

My cruiser came with Bridgestone Exedra and manage to get about 20,000 miles out of the rear. So, I stick with them.

[@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA]

Viper6 i have those same tires on my big Kawi. Awesome tire !

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

ANONYMOUS BIKER USA yeah, I never had an issue👍

[@TheBeardedBobber]

Very nice!

[@Mafresita]

I got about 10-11k on the exedra max on my scout bobber. Mostly ride straight freeway everyday

[@MeatballRebel]

I have Metzler ME888 white walls. Next set might not be whites wall and maybe a 180 in back like Jay.

[@TheBeardedBobber]

Screw it go with a 240 lol 😝

[@MeatballRebel]

@@TheBeardedBobber Nope, well maybe 🤔

[@TheBeardedBobber]

Haha that’s the attitude to have right there lol

[@tomm3260]

There it is right there, go for a ride pull up somewhere and check out the view, what it's all about. I got 15,000 kilometres out of the rear Kendra so put on another on, old one was pretty cactus by then and still the original front on.

[@TheBeardedBobber]

I’m excited I finally pulled over at this spot. Gotta do it again. That’s awesome. Ya my stock front was still perfect. Good to hear people got more miles than I did.

[@kencolle1]

Metzeler cruisetec..I have them on my bobber..fantastic tire.

[@ejakeway]

I have C2’s on my vstar 1300. I’m on my 2nd set. Got 21,000 miles out of my front tire and 15,000 out of my rear tire. I do only long highway cross country touring.

[@TheBeardedBobber]

Right on!!

[@DOMAPOI]

With the condition of our roads here in California, I'd surprised if you get anywhere near what the manufacturer say they should last. Great spot you were at, too.

[@TheBeardedBobber]

Haha I wish they were better lol. Our taxes dollars say they should be lol

[@jonathannovak5961]

You guys haven't been to the Detroit area. I've been to Cali. Your roads are pristine in comparison

[@TheBeardedBobber]

cruiser_power_ranger 1901 lol I’ll will take your word for that one.

[@DOMAPOI]

@@jonathannovak5961 If our roads are pristine compared to yours, yours must be all washboard dirt roads.

[@jonathannovak5961]

@@DOMAPOI you ever blow a tire and break the rim on your car from the road conditions? Gravel roads would be a dream compared to some of the craters.

[@chrisb9960]

I've got about 9K on my scouts original tires. The wear strip isn't showing yet but it's getting close. This winter is going to be cold so I'll be getting new tires in the spring. I guess I don't ride it like I stole it.

[@TheBeardedBobber]

So you have a scout or a scout bobber. I’ve heard the regular scout gets way more miles. For the bobber my 5200 was high. Some only got 3k.

[@chrisb9960]

@@TheBeardedBobber Bobber

[@TheBeardedBobber]

You’ve definitely gotten the most I’ve heard. Wish I would got that.

[@chrisb9960]

@@TheBeardedBobber Now that I think about it I bought it from a dealership with 1K miles on it last Dec. Now it has 10K I'll check to see what rubber is on the thing.

[@Bluecollarfatbob]

Question… why is your front tires mounted the opposite way?

[@TheBeardedBobber]

It’s mounted the correct way for the tire. Pattern just looked weird. I don’t have this tire now on the bike but people asked that before and it’s the way they are supposed to be unless the factor messed up the direction arrows on the side wall

[@Bluecollarfatbob]

@@TheBeardedBobber appreciate the speedy response.. and response in general. I’m debating on this tire for my Fat Bob, only issue is I can’t find a matching Front tire with it. Some way you can mount a Rear tire in Front but 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@TheBeardedBobber]

I do not know. Have you looked at the commander 3? I have those on two of my bikes now.

[@ChadGrimes]

Now that it's below freezing I'm going to need you warm weather guys to crank out the videos to keep hope alive. My poor bike is in the garage on life support until March.... 😭

[@TheBeardedBobber]

Oh man that sucks. I definitely don’t wanna do that. I’ll be posting all through winter. Knock on wood.

[@EmAreDayviss]

Lol! “Her shoes!” Hahaha
