So far I’m very pleased with the scorcher 31 from Michelin install it on a 2006 Street Bob had no trouble with it being a 180 wide but my lights were already been relocated because I had placed a 2-up seat and sissy bar on it. I run it at 40psi.

It’s a Michelin, tire for Harley Davidson. I had hard time to mount on the wheel, very strong rubber. After 1 year and a half, it’s stay fine. I am riding 4 days a week to go to work with the HD. I am from Florida and I use my motorcycle sunny day or rainy day, no difference for me..

Never had Michelins on a bike before and not sure I’ll ever NOT have them again. Love the way this tire feels on the bike. Also like the detail of the little Harley Davidson emblems in it. 10 out of 10

I was dissapointed to receive these tires and see that these “Michelin” and “Harley-Davidson” co-branded tires are made in Thailand. I have been riding for 30 years, and up until this set, I always bought (quite a few) sets of “Dunlop / Harley-Davidson” co-branded tires, and (so far) they have always been made in the USA. I guess I will be going back to the Dunlops in the future. I am not saying that that either brand is any better than the other. I prefer to buy USA products (when I can).
