200/55R17 Michelin Commander III REAR

Description

200/55R17 Michelin commander iii rear

The michelin commander iii cruiser (200/55ZR17 78V rear) is michelin’s benchmark heavy-cruiser and custom-v-twin tyre. Designed specifically to deliver maximum mileage without sacrificing wet-weather safety, it utilizes a 100% silica rubber compound and high-density technology (hdt) to handle high-torque, heavy-displacement motorcycles.Specially engineered for wide-rim v-twin cruisers and heavy custom touring rigs, the commander iii cruiser combines 100% silica compounds with michelin’s high-density technology (hdt) casing to maximize wet safety and straight-line wear longevity under heavy payloads.

Key specifications:
>Size: 200/55R17 (200 mm width, 55% aspect ratio, radial construction [“r”], 17-inch rear rim)
>Load/speed index: 78V (max load capacity of 425 kg / 937 lbs; speed rated up to 240 km/h / 149 mph)
>Position: rear fitment (commonly paired with commander iii cruiser front fitments)

Standout features:
1.High-Density Technology (hdt) casing: incorporates a rigid, high-density aramid casing ply that reduces internal flex, preventing tread squirm under heavy acceleration and maximizing tracking stability on heavy v-twins.

2.100% Silica tread compound: formulated with full-silica rubber across the entire tread profile to optimize wet braking efficiency and cold-weather road adhesion without sacrificing total mileage.

3.Optimized Longitudinal tread grooves: designed with high sea-to-land ratio tread siping along the center and shoulders, ensuring rapid water evacuation and resisting cupping or uneven wear patterns.

4.Extended Wear longevity: engineered to set benchmark tread life in the v-twin cruiser segment, outlasting predecessor commander ii models under heavy passenger/luggage loads.
