The First Co-Branded MICHELIN/Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Tyre

For the first time in their long histories, Michelin and Harley-Davidson have joined forces to develop the all-new MICHELIN® Scorcher™ “31” tyre, which carries both companies’ trademarks on its sidewalls and the signature Harley-Davidson logo moulded into the shoulder.

Available exclusively as original equipment on four 2010 Harley-Davidson® Dyna® models, the all-new tyre was unveiled on July 25th at the Harley-Davidson summer dealer meeting in Denver, Colorado.The
MICHELIN® Scorcher™ “31” delivers superior performance in three key areas, providing sensational grip, impressive durability and excellent handling.

The exclusive deep-cut tread design improves grip and water evacuation capability. Grip performance, particularly on wet roads, is also enhanced by the tyre’s rubber compounds, which use the latest generation of
MICHELIN® synthetic polymers.
