michelin scorcher 31 front tire

[dans2014]

  anyone tried this tire on the front? is it better than the Dunlop?

Its for a Harley not really a sport tourer and not the tire most are putting on their bikes if you look at the threads. It has a classic tread design and not the water relief tread of the Pilot 4s and that is one of the things most want better wet traction. Micheline has the Pilot listed for GT bikes not what the Scorcher for Harley is all about. Why when some have found a tire that seems to work well would you not go with others recommendations?

I googled it and didn't see one anywhere near the right size, either.

I have the Harley bias-ply dunflop on mine now, I like it so far, it might wear
out quick (the OEM one did too)... I can't wait to get my ride-on in it and take
off the ugly stick-on weights they plastered all over my rim... it is not even
balanced well... I noticed this right away on the weekend-from-hell ride,
and have only ridden it to work a few times since...

Others have that pr4trail 120/70 on their bikes and like it.

Cool..you'll love it, but be prepared for a different feel right from the get go...it turns far quicker...making it easier to turn the bars...Was a bit uneasy at first...as it was WAY different from the stock tire...but once you get the hang of it..wow...just turn the bike and it goes in that direction...even steeply...

I've used RideOn for a while and have always been happy with it.

Today I stripped off the weights the shop plastered onto my rim
and put in the RideOn... I only ran up and down my dead-end road 30mph
a few times to distribute the RideOn, it felt great... I'll go for a real ride Sunday or
Monday...

I posted this another time... these mountain bike tubeless tire goo
injectors work great for RideOn... they're made to screw right
onto the valve stem...



EDIT: smooth as glass on the way to work today...
