Glad the tires are working out for you. I was interested in what people thought of some of these. I've run Michelin Pilot Power 2CT on my CBR, so wanted to know what their truck/street tires were like. Don't need tires for awhile, but it's nice to see feed back on some.
I just bought a set of Michelin Commander lll for my Harley-Davidson. I haven't spent much time on the bike lately. The Pilots on X are getting a workout. There are lots of good tires out there, but I'm becoming a fan of the Michelin's.

I replaced all 4 tires withe Michelin Pilot All Season 3+ at Costco back in August 2017; they cost $210 each. ~20k miles later got an irreparable puncture in one of them. Costco doesn't carry the A/S 3+ anymore, so I got two A/S 4; they cost $200 each. So far I'm happy with bothe A/S 3+ and the A/S 4, and I'm happy with Costco's safety checks, proper torquing, and overall service.

The A/S 3+ wore out a little faster than I would've liked (they're guaranteed up to 55k miles I think, I got 20k miles up until the puncture). We'll see how the A/S 4 holds up

After y'alls advice I'm gonna buy some of the AS4's whenever I get the truck running again. Gonna try to make enough room in the garage this weekend to get the X in there. Then I'll put the Clutchmasters TOB in, then hopefully it'll move to take it to get tires on.

I had thought about it. I don't know what the drawbacks are. Hitting the steering components on tight turns. Plus it will mess up your speedometer. You would get better traction. And it look cool as hell.
