Great Looking tires
These tires came on my Fatboy. I have just over 1000 miles on them. They look great. Ride really nice. Will see about mileage.
Great Tire all around
Original tire on my FSFBS Fatboy 114. Holds the road, smooth, excellent on dry and wet roads. My front tire just hit the wear bar indicator and the rear still has at least 33% left. The problem is getting this tire in my sizes 160/60 R18 front and 240/40 R18 rear. HD dealers say they are having tremendous problems getting these tires. If you can find any on the Internet, their prices are jacked up $100 or more!

Great tire if you want to wait a year to get one! B/o...B/o...B/o!!!!

Great Tire PERIOD
This is a great tire for my Muscle Cruiser no regrets , I keep seeing reviews with comments concerning these tires not lasting long, I have to disagree , I have a 240 on the back of my 2018 Suzuki Boulevard M109 and the tread is doing fine put on at 1700 I am now at 7200 and decided to purchase another for future use however still waiting for tire ordered since April of 2021( allegedly backorder), Tire is dependable and handles well on New York Highways and Streets, if you can find one in the United States this size. I also run Michelin on all my vehicles the commercial accurate truly a great tire as long as you do you part, proper tire pressure, etc.
Thank you for your review, Horton. Glad you're enjoying the longevity and handling of the MICHELIN® Scorcher® 11 tire. We are working on getting those backorders filled as soon as possible. Thank you for being valued customer of the Michelin brand!

Scorcher 11
Never ounce questioned the tires 2019 fat boy 114 Have only gotten about 2000 miles on a back tire as I can pass a 🔩 😢 Best tires highly recommended!!!
Perfect tire for my Harley Davidson NIGHTROD!
Handles well! I get the traction I need and feels very stable at high speeds and excellent cornering. Perfect for my Harley Davidson V-Rod/NIGHTROD !!!! Comes with bar and shield logos built into tire.
Adverse front tire wear
I have a little over 8200 miles on my 2020 FLFBS 114 Fat Boy with the Stage Two kit done at the 1000 mile check, and the right side of my front tire is thoroughly worn out !! Just the right side, the left side looks to be average wear for the mileage. The rear tire is still just fine and will last many more miles! What is up with this adverse and accelerated wear?!?!? I have never before owned a motorcycle that wore out a front tire before a rear tire was needed!!! I would really like an answer to this as the tires seem to perform admirably as to adhesion and performance. I understand that they are supposed to have a harder composition in the center and softer, more adhesive composition on the sides, but has this been a problem that one side or the other is too soft and wears too quickly? I am at this point very disappointed in the wear durability of these tires!!!! If I am going to have to deal with this kind of accelerated wear, I can run Pirelli at about half the cost and get the same handling and quality. I ran Pirelli for years on my Shovel Stroker and was very, very pleased with them!!! I understand that Michellin is a premier tire manufacturer that generates a top quality product, but I am very disappointed with my initial experience with the original equipment tires on my FLFBS Fat Boy 114. Now I have to spend two or three hundred bucks for a new tire after 8200 miles?!?!?!?!? I really want a direct email response to this situation as I am very disappointed in your product at this particular time!! I love the tires' performance, but am not at all happy with the longevity and wear!!!!
scorcher 11 tyre's
7543km's,2yrs2months later and I need a front tyre for my 2018fatboy. Excellent grip in wet and dry. That's what you get from a soft compound tyre or is it. What is your life worth? Being a 160 profile it's going to grab the road harder than a skinny tyre, so it will wear out quicker than a skinny tyre. So, how much is your life worth?
Scorcher 11’s are absolutely terrible for mileage
I had a set of Scorcher 11’s that came with my new 2018 HD Fatboy. The lifespan on these tires is absolutely horrible. I rode 3,900 miles in 7 months and the front was so worn down in the middle that it would not pass inspection. I’m pretty good about making sure my tires are properly inflated. I was so disappointed that these tires only lasted for 7 months of riding. I would not buy these tires again and would not recommend them to anyone.
Exceptional
These tires came with my new purchase of a 2019 HD FXDRS 114. 100% confident and trust my life with them. I never have riden in the rain so I can’t give a review. Not a fan of wet conditions and detailing. However, very sticky as they warm up. Holds to the road and corners. Smooth at high speeds. Will buy again when the time comes.
