Tyre size:
What tyre size do you require?
The exact size of a tyre can be found on its sidewall.
The following chart shows you how to read a tyre size.
1. Overall tire width in mm
2. Ratio of tire height to tire width in%
3. Tire design: ''R'' = radial tires (widely used), ''D'' or ''-'' = diagonal tires (rare)
4. Required rim diameter for this tire in inches
5. Key figure for tire load capacity
6. Key figure for the permissible maximum speed (speed index)
7. Motorcycle tire identification, tires only approved for motorcycles
8. DOT labeling
9. Date of manufacture of the tire (week of production / year of production)

SPEED INDEX:
The speed index indicates the maximum speed intended for the tyre. Up to this value, the manufacturer guarantees optimum operation with the appropriate tyre pressure. The maximum speed allowed for this vehicle is given in the vehicle owner's manual; this information can be used to select the appropriate speed index for the tyre. The speed index is the last mark on the sidewall of the tyre.

reassuring grip, great wear characteristics, good braking (with upgraded brakes) good ride & feel, covered over 12,000 miles with tyre, only replaced after serious accident-damaged tyre, wheel/forks. braking performance combined with 4 piston PM brakes saved life after impact with front/side of Van. tyre still had even tread across tyre width- never had such good wear with Avon Cobra/Venom/Road runner etc
09.03.2019fromFrancois Schaut
Previously used the Bridgestone Exedra's. While these tires lasted long, their characteristics in wet weather was much to be desired off, especially in wet Irish weather. the Michelin Commanders are definitly a huge improvement in the bike stabillity with wet weather and roundabouts kan be taken with confidence without the rear of the bike slipping under wet conditions. Also brake stability much better, all in all a safer and more relaxed experiance with these tires, great road feedback!

Since getting new tyres bike much more responsive and stable
06.05.2014fromDaz
Good tyre in general so far. Lacks feedback and confidence in the wet. Firm ride compared to Avon tyres. It will depend on longevity as to whether I buy again. If they do achieve double the mileage of my Avons, as advertised then I may consider buying again.

14.05.2021fromPhil
I bought the Pirelli Night Dragons in November 2020 to replace the original Harley Davidson American Dunlops, which had zero grip in the wet and were squared off. I live on the Isle of Wight, which has a mix of fast single carriageway roads, urban roads, and windy country lanes. The road surfaces are variable and often wet, muddy or leaf covered. As I'm not a stereotypical HD rider, I need a tyre to allow me to ride throughout the year and not just when it was dry and sunny. My mileage has been restricted due to the Covid lockdown but I have been riding more of late and feel much more confident with the Pirellis, albeit I have to remember I'm riding a behemoth of a bike which still slides over wet manhole covers etc. Overall a good purchase and I would recommend them to anyone seeking to replace their original HD tyres, and who isn't too bothered about not having the "HD" symbol on the sidewall!.
