A supple casing design and carefully developed profile help the Michelin Scorcher 31 provide nimble handling on winding roads. As original equipment on select Harley-Davidson models, including the Sport Glide, Low Rider, Low Rider S, Iron 883, Iron 1200, 1200 Custom, and Forty-Eight, this rear tire is engineered to complement the handling characteristics of compatible motorcycles. Verify your motorcycle’s application, tire size, load rating, and speed rating before installation, and always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s fitment and maintenance recommendations.
