Despite the fact that the summer motorcycle tire Michelin Scorcher 31, according to the representatives of the French manufacturer, was specifically designed for Harley-Davidson motorcycles released after 2009, it will perfectly suit bikes of other brands, made in a similar style. Like other motorcycle models from Michelin, this tire is distinguished by the presence of many proprietary technologies, which provided it with excellent operational qualities.
Constantity of the contact patch size
One of such developments that found application in this model is the "proprietary" tread profile, thanks to which the French tire manufacturers were able to provide maximum contact patch sizes, while maintaining their area and shape at the initial level. Due to this feature, this model is favorably distinguished by very stable and reliable behavior in any road conditions.
Multiple grip edges
In addition to the original profile, the tread pattern of this tire is distinguished by the presence of multiple grip edges formed by numerous drainage grooves. It is thanks to them that the tread pattern takes on a well-recognized appearance, reminiscent of the letter V of the Latin alphabet. Such a layout allows the tire to demonstrate excellent directional stability at any speed.
Furthermore, the presence of a large number of extended drainage channels in all parts of the tread pattern provides the Michelin Scorcher 31 tire with extremely fast water drainage from the contact patch. This, in turn, allows you to move confidently on a wet road, without risking the effect of aquaplaning.
Rubber compound specifically for wet roads
In addition to the drainage grooves of the tread pattern, excellent grip properties on wet asphalt are also ensured by the rubber compound with a specially selected composition. It should be noted that it has an increased content of silicon-containing elements, which allows the tread to more closely fit the irregularities on the road surface.
