hobot exists 24/7 in flash backs from 70's on but mostly on my Nortons handyness and surprise saves through thick and thin yet i've so little time on motorcycle i look up to you and most everyone else here as models of surviving cycling. Best all around combo is 19" x 110 tire front and back - rotating front to rear as front wears to slab sided shape from cornering glee yet plenty of meat left in the middle. 100 size tires will detectably feel a bit more responsive and light handling until crisis need of front brake, at least in my case. There's about 1/2" OD betwix 19 or 18 so 18 can give a tad more lean clearance and increase trail enough to feel a dash more resistance to over steer when slightly over powering rear in sharper turns or on loose stuff. Peel is another creature so I think 16" rear x 5" and 19"x110 flat track tires maybe be her optimal. Hope ya find what solves any annoyance riding a Commando.
