180/70 B 16 77H Scorcher "31"

The Michelin Scorcher 31 is the original equipment rear tyre developed for Harley-Davidson cruisers and touring models, offered here in the 180/70 B 16 M/C 77H tubeless size. It is built around a belted bias casing with aramid fibre reinforcement, giving a light, stable structure that holds its line at highway speeds.

A multi-compound rubber blend draws on Michelin's road-racing experience to deliver confident grip on both dry and wet roads, while carbon black-enriched compounds are formulated for long, even tread wear. Michelin's Amplified Density Technology (ADT) stiffens the carcass for a responsive feel without giving up ride comfort.

Suited to riders of large cruisers and baggers who want a replacement tyre matched to the original fitment. Fitment listings are a guide only — please confirm the size and specification against your motorcycle's owner's manual or with us before ordering.

Have the tyre fitted, balanced and the valve inspected by a qualified motorcycle tyre fitter - tubeless tyres require an undamaged, correctly matched rim.
Check that the size, load index and speed symbol match the specification in your motorcycle's owner's manual before fitting.
Observe a run-in period on new tyres: ride gently and avoid hard acceleration, heavy braking and deep lean angles until the tread surface has scrubbed in.
Check inflation pressures regularly with the tyre cold, using the pressures specified by your motorcycle's manufacturer for your load and riding conditions.
Inspect regularly for cuts, embedded objects, bulges, uneven wear and remaining tread depth, and replace the tyre once it reaches the legal or manufacturer wear limit.
Do not exceed the tyre's load or speed rating, and reduce speed and increase following distance in wet conditions.
Keep the tyre clean using water and mild soap only; avoid petrol, solvents, silicone dressings and tyre shine products on the tread, as they can reduce grip.
Store spare tyres upright in a cool, dry, dark place away from direct sunlight, ozone sources such as electric motors, and contact with fuels, oils and chemicals.
Always replace a tyre that has been run under-inflated, punctured or otherwise damaged rather than relying on a temporary repair for continued riding.
