Yamaha 1300 Tourer - Yamaha 1300 Tourer Fansite

I was talking to a friend who rides a Stratoliner about rear tires last night and we discussed a car tire on the rear since that bike eats rear tires like no other. He didn't know much about the darkside so I went to a Stratoliner forum and looked up some information for him. In the process I ran across a new MC tire they were discussing that sounded interesting so I did a little research today to see if this would work on the 1300 or my Victory bikes. They make a 180/65-16 that should work on the 1300. The tire is supposed to get up to 25K before needing to be replaced which would be a huge advantage over any other tire other than the CT.

I ran across this article on webbike worlds website. http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-news/2012/michelin-commander-tire...

It looks like Michelin has been listening. Should make for an interesting topic.
