I have F & R Michelin Commanders with about 3300 miles on them if someone has a use for them. PM me and I'm sure we can come to an arrangement. I don't want to fool with shipping them so they would need to be picked up in central Arkansas. They were just to good to leave at the tire shop.
The reason I took them off is because my wife and I planned a trip for the last week of June to Colorado and I waited till the last minute to get my Voyager ready for the trip. On our trip last year, it felt like it was riding on loose gravel. On that trip my drive shaft u joints also went bad. Since I waited until the last minute, I replaced the drive shaft, put new swing arm bearings in, and then decided to put new Dunlop E 3's back on it. I think the problem was the swing arm bushings as they had wear pattern in the races.

Re: Michelin Commander Tires in Arkansas
It felt like there was always a constant side to side movement with the road. I think the worn swing arm bushings allowed movement side to side that caused the rear of the bike to not track properly with the front. They had only been repacked once and the bike had 94,000 miles when I replaced the bearings.
