Thinking on putting Michelin on the rear of my trike. I have the Commander ll on the front. Is anyone using Michelin on the rear? If so how do you like them and which one are you running?
 
Never had an issue with the stock Dunlops. With 60k on the originals and still have tons of life left I don't know when I'll have to replace them.

No I don't Michelin there is no reason not to if you like the brand get the appropriate size. I used Goodyear Viva 3's 205X70R 15 to lower the rpms in 6th gear cruising. This gearing change slowed the speedo 2mph' not a great change but just enough to lower the overall rpms by 400 to 500 at 70 mph.
