Riders who are asking what features they get will see the Commander III Touring is using MICHELIN Aramid Shield Technology, a dense, rigid casing to provide feedback and handling, and aramid tread plies on the rear to resist centrifugal growth, reduce weight and support stability. Michelin also specifies MICHELIN Silica Technology and contact-patch optimisation for an enhanced longevity, including for touring motorcycles that have been loaded. The tread design is suited to wet grip and long-term road use and Michelin Premium Touch Design provides a distinctive sidewall appearance. Riders should always check the motorcycle manufacturer has approved this size, load and speed for their machine. Michelin positions the Commander III Touring for V-Twin touring motorcycles and lists the BMW R 18, R 18 B, R 18 Classic and R 18 Transcontinental as original-equipment applications in their dealer documentation. Other motorcycles using 180/55 B18 should be checked individually before purchase rather than assuming compatibility on the basis of size.
