Tires MICHELIN or ADVAN
Michelin tires are generally considered top of the line in almost every category (when speaking about all season performance/road noise).
For better grip Michelin defenders good but expensive and you’ll lose 10% +/- mpg.
Try Michelin road 6’s if you want more of a touring/long life tire.
If you don’t ride hard, get a Michelin road 6.
I would go for Michelin.
I am looking to get the Michelin CrossClimate 2s when these are toast
My 2024 ST has Michelin Premier A/S, which is something I've bought a few times a few times in the past for previous vehicles.
I swapped them for Michelin CrossClimate 2, which at the time were the best tires, at 300 miles on the odometer. Sold the Bridgestone tires for $400 and never looked back. Now clicking over at 60000 and those tires still have tread and tracked fantastically in the snow this past winter.
I had commander 2s on my V-Star 650 and commander 3s on my Road Star. They perform pretty similarly in my opinion. My only gripe with the 3s is that they get this harmonic resonance at certain speeds. I thought my engine was having a fit. Turns out it wasn't the engine, the 3s just like to hit that sweet spot and send vibrations in waves. It's hard to describe.
I got the Michelin Cross Climates for my '19 Alltrack.. Did not get to test them during our brief snow. I was hoping for an improvement in highway noise, but they are plenty loud on our typical worn concrete highway surfaces.
