Scott, I have not run these tires on my bike and have no knowledge of how they will perform. However, I bought a parts bike that has a new set on it with only 20 miles on the tires. The bike was in a major wreck and the front tire looks ok but the wheel was ripped apart. Not sure I would trust the front tire but the back still looks new. I usually run Metzeler tires and have for the last 5 or 6 sets. Can't remember. With the trouble they may be having with the rear tires (still not sure about that) I may be going with a different brand. At least until they figure out the problem. Since I have a good rear commander, I may get a front one and just give them a try. I believe someone posted that the load handling capacity for that tire was at the bottom of what should be put on the Voyager. I'm also still not sure of that and will check. A couple years ago one of the Voyager owner posted that he ran a set and got good mileage, handling and he also pulled a trailer. SO, before I run them OR take anyones word, I will need to check the #'s for weight/handling.
