Review: Long lasting tires for a cruiser. - Great tire. Rides smooth on dry pavement and does pretty well on wet. My last set was the commander II and they lasted about 20k miles so hopefully I'll get the same or more out of these.
Review: Great tire, better than Pirelli Knight Dragons - Much improved! The "Cruser" has a thicker casing, perhaps stiffer than needed for the lighter Insian Scout. However, it was recommended as the correct replacement for the OEM Perelli Night Dragons (that still had tread after 6,500 miles, but never felt right (tire wobble, and not particularly confidence-inspiring in hard corners. I have a motorcycle shop, and have seen LOTS of tires and owned most. Michelins have always been a favorite, especially with the additional silical compounds they use. Glad to move away from "knight dragons," eager to see how these wear and handel over the next 6K miles.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Long lasting tires for a cruiser.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tire, better than Pirelli Knight Dragons

Much improved! The "Cruser" has a thicker casing, perhaps stiffer than needed for the lighter Insian Scout. However, it was recommended as the correct replacement for the OEM Perelli Night Dragons (that still had tread after 6,500 miles, but never felt right (tire wobble, and not particularly confidence-inspiring in hard corners.

Glad to move away from "knight dragons," eager to see how these wear and handel over the next 6K miles.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Date code is a plus!
*by J***I on December 14, 2025*

Great tire. Date code is newer so that is a plus. Sometimes they sit in a warehouse for years, so you never know how long the rubber has been “exposed.” Only 6 months old which is a win! Had an issue with shipping, but not the sellers fault and seller responded in a few hours to track down the order, fix the issue, and still get it to me quickly. Will buy from again!
