    Great feedback from you all. So far Michelin Commanders using a 130 on the front rim should give me longevity and control in balance. I installed the Dunlop Elite 3's front and back. 6000 kms return from West Coast and other riding . So far so good. Tread looks unimpressive but seems to work . I'm a bit aggressive in curves always and see no signs of wear yet.

    Awesome additional info thank you

    I truly appreciate everybody's help. I wish those newer michelins were available for our front since 40000 k on one set of tires saves the downtime and installation cost. Even if the cost of the tire would be almost double. It looks like from what everybody saying the Dunlop Elite 3 overall the best pick at this moment. Just for info sake I called a Yamaha dealer in Kelowna BC. He indicated that Dunlop is coming up with an elite four July 27th release day 2018. They are supposed to be dual compound with much improved distance and handling.

    Thank You Free Bird. It looks like I may have to settle for the Elite 3 buy Dunlop. The Elite Force come out the 24th of this month in Kelowna BC but I will be passing by and not able to take advantage of their release date. Apparently the Michelin Commander 2 only produce our rear tire and don't have a match for our front. As I have so far averaged 50000 K per year, I need to focus on Range and less on sticking to the pavement. Oh and please disregard the poll, I had no idea how to manipulate that part of posting.

    I need some help finding long distance touring tires. My Yamaha dealership swamped me into a Vons claiming they would rival Michelin long-distance tires. The michelins claimed double the usual expected mileage. That would equate to 40,000 k. I have since learned my Yamaha dealer may have totally lied about the capability of the Avon tires. Not wishing to rely on them for advice I'm asking here. The Dunlop Elite 4 tires seem to claim amazing range. What is my best option and does anyone know where I could get them installed in short notice.
