For the first time, Michelin has developed the all-new Michelin Scorcher “31” tire, which carries both Michelin and Harley Davidson’s trademarks on its sidewalls and the signature Harley-Davidson logo carved into the shoulder.
Available exclusively as original equipment on four 2010 Harley-Davidson® Dyna models, the all-new tire was unveiled on July 25th at the Harley-Davidson summer dealer meeting in Denver, Colorado.
“Michelin has specifically engineered this innovative and durable tire to meet the high expectations of Harley-Davidson owners,” said Gary Midkiff, Vice President of Michelin North America’s Two-Wheel Division.
The “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 pavement, is also enhanced by the tire’s rubber compounds, which use the latest generation of Michelin synthetic polymers.
The new tire’s particularly high mileage (not provided) is a result of the premium-quality components used in its rubber compounds and Michelin’s exclusive manufacturing process, which creates a blend whose unrivaled homogeneity enables the new “31” to deliver truly outstanding durability.
Michelin designed the tire to provide confidence-inspiring handling so its R&D teams used aramid belts under the rear tread to stabilize the contact patch while the carcass plies are made from polyester to provide exceptional ride comfort.
The “31” is original equipment on 2010 Harley-Davidson® Dyna® Super Glide®, Super Glide® Custom, Street Bob® and Low Rider® models and can also be fitted on a variety of 2006-2009 Dyna® models.
News is really slow this week ;)
