The Michelin Commander III Cruiser rear tire is designed for V-Twin and cruiser motorcycles requiring a 170/80B15 tire with a 77H service rating. Manufactured by Michelin and sold under vendor part number 59618, this rear motorcycle tire combines cruiser-focused handling, dependable highway performance, and long-lasting tread life. The fitment is intended for compatible cruiser and V-Twin motorcycle applications that specify this tire size and load and speed rating.
Michelin Premium Touch technology adds distinctive sidewall styling to complement the appearance of V-Twin motorcycles. The Commander III Cruiser is engineered to provide enhanced wet grip and confident performance in changing road conditions. Michelin states that the tire delivers exceptional wet traction and short stopping distances in wet conditions among leading competitors, based on internal testing performed in Fontange, France using a 2016 Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight equipped with comparable front and rear tire sizes. Actual on-road performance may vary based on motorcycle, load, road surface, weather, riding style, and tire condition.
As a rear replacement tire, the Michelin Commander III Cruiser helps riders maintain balanced handling and reliable road contact when properly matched with the motorcycle manufacturer's approved specifications. Always confirm motorcycle fitment, wheel compatibility, load requirements, and recommended tire pressure before installation. Professional mounting and balancing are recommended.
