About Michelin

Michelin has built tires since 1889 and supplies original equipment rubber for Harley-Davidson. The Commander series is developed specifically for heavyweight cruisers and baggers, where mileage and wet grip both have to hold up under load.

The Michelin Scorcher 11 is a co-branded radial front tire engineered for select Harley-Davidson motorcycles. It features a semi-slick tread pattern and race-derived rubber compounds, delivering both grip and durability for the road ahead.

Why riders pick this

  • Semi-slick tread for maximum dry grip
  • Advanced radial construction for precise handling
  • Optimized grooves for wet weather traction
  • Durable, race-derived rubber compounds
  • Co-branded for select Harley-Davidson models

When you're pushing your Harley-Davidson, the right front tire makes all the difference in how the bike feels and responds. The Michelin Scorcher 11 brings advanced radial technology to your V-twin, translating into precise handling and a confident feel whether you're carving canyons or cruising the highway. This tire is built to perform, giving you the control you demand.

Engineered for Performance and Control

  • Semi-slick tread pattern creates a large contact patch for maximum dry grip
  • Advanced radial technology provides responsive and predictable handling
  • Optimized groove design effectively evacuates water in wet conditions
  • Race-derived rubber compounds ensure both durability and high performance

Uncork Your Bike's Potential

Choosing a tire like the Scorcher 11 is a critical step in optimizing your Harley's performance. It's designed to complement the power and torque of your V-twin, allowing you to get the most out of your machine. Pair it with a matching rear Scorcher 11 for a balanced and high-performing setup.

Best looking and performing tire for Harley period!

2012 Fatboy Lo looks insane with these tires. Get compliments on how the bike looks especially with the flat black paintwork. Strongly recommend this set of tires on anybody's Fatboy Lo. The grip is above my expectations. Have to catch myself because I'm scrapping footboards everywhere because I get overconfident with the grip LOL. Strongly recommend...enjoy!!

Coast to Coast TWICE on a VRod

Held up like a champ. Grip was impressive. Good ride, quick to come up to temp. I'm only switching to a different tire to try the Dunlop Q3 in a 240 width as an experiment. If you have a VRod, you will LOVE this tire. <br /><br />Oh, and I put 2 track days on the tire as well. Awesome cornering grip. Seriously.

Great Rear Tire !

I've ridden 1,000 miles thus far on this tire (rear 240 / 40 / 80) on my 2009 Harley Rocker. Great traction in wet & dry conditions. Look awesome, and I get lots of compliments. Will buy again.

good tire horrible wear

Unfortunately these are the only tires i can buy for my bike. Tread life on these tires is not impressive at all. My old bike i was averaging around 14.000 miles. I'm lucky to get 5.000 out of these. Your pricing compared to the dealer is awesome. Still would like to see other companies manufacture these tires for my 2018 Fat Boy special.

Grippy Tires in Curves

Ordered a replacement set for my 2011 Sportster 883XL at 7000 miles. Placed order around 10:00 AM on Friday and got them at my front door 1:00 PM Saturday morning! Impressive. Wow, what a difference these new tires made! It was noticeable in the turns and over all performance very much improved.
