Michelin Commander II tyres

I'm coming up to needing a new front tyre in the next few weeks so have been having a look around to see what's out there now and came across the Michelin Commander II.  Michelin are making fantastic claims for milage without any loss of handling or stability.  As an old engineer these two things seem to be mutually exclusive but very appealing if they can make it work.  Has anybody tried them ?

I've not tried the Commander II, but Michelin make a lot of dual compound tyre's which get good reviews, They've probably put there dual compound technology into cruiser tyre's now as it's been around for a few years for sports bikes, They get the good mileage by using a hard compound round the centre of the tyre whilst still maintaining good handling by using a softer compound on the edges.

You won't go wrong with Michelin MTII, great reviews form what I have read. Not used them myself but they certainly are rated well.

Thanks chaps. If you two agree and think there worth a go then thats good enough for me.

Heard good things about them as well &       If those two guys have recommended them even if its only from what they have read or heard I would be inclined to go with what they say as well  

I was thinking of those as well for my new wheels which have arrived yay! 
Just want my 'pumpkin' to arrive from the USA!
'Pumpkin'? Well thats what the yanks call them believe it or not! Strange people eh?

I Saw that crash but had so much fun last week I thought I would let that one slide. besides there might be a bit of truth. 

What the heck, Tex your mellowing in your young age.

Ah but Tex is not a yank he is a Texan & a totally different breed, I'll walk away quietly now whistling quietly as i do so waiting for the chunk chunk of the shotgun behind me  

Chunk Chunk. He is right. Texas is a whole other Country.  

I have been using the Commander 2 since summer last year and love them!

That'll do me. Thank you chaps, your opinions and advice are appreciated as always
