After a partnership since 2008, Michelin and Harley-Davidson have signed an agreement that allows the tyres with both the companies’ branding on the sidewalls, to be sold through authorised Michelin and Harley-Davidson dealers.

The Michelin Scorcher 11, Scorcher 31 and Scorcher 32 tyres are fitted as original equipment on the Harley-Davidson Sportster, Dyna, V-Rod and Street. Currently available only through Harley-Davidson’s dealership network, this agreement will widen the availability of these tyres on the replacement market. However, no dates have been released on when this agreement will take effect.
