I love these tires. I liked the Scorcher 31s that came on the bike, so well, that I replaced with the same. The tread design isn't beautiful, but I'm a "function" type person. There are remarks that these aren't the best rain tires, but I have had no trouble when riding in rain. I've been near interstate speeds during rain. My riding style, though is spirited ..... not aggressive, and I am prudent when it rains. Tires were delivered within 2 days of placing the order! I'm only one state away, so YMMV.I've been buying from Revzilla for 7 or 8 years, and have never been disappointed.

I highly recommend this Product as does Harley-Davidson. My only complaint is wear, but hey, the back tire wears out first right down the middle because I choose the Fun setting on the throttle. With the right weight transfer it will pick the front off, locked brake or not. Sticky never lasts forever, so I choose sticky. I take a lot of long sweepers on rural highways with complete confidence in Michelin. My FXDLS is a lot heavier than a green rocket but I can still do wheelies on either end.

First bike and first set of tires. These came stock on my 17 Sportster XL1200 Custom. These are fantastic on dry pavement as I lean hard and have never felt any slip. Wet pavement I have learned to take it easy as these will spin pretty quick and lock under braking with start of rain but settle in to about what I would expect after the grime has washed off the roads. I am nearing 9000 miles and I have about 2/32's left before I get down to the wear bars. I expect maybe 10k miles is about average for these tires. I see some reviews saying over 10k but they are probably not riding as hard as I am. Overall I say these are great and will be replacing these with the same.

Scorchers came with my 2017 Dyna Street Bob when I bought it new a little over 5yrs ago. My riding preference is daylight rides of 75 to 250 miles in dry weather and temperatures of no less than 60 degrees F. I never intentionally ride in wet weather although there have been times when I have been caught in heavy downpours unexpectedly during rides. I'm very pleased with the way the Scorchers handle in every situation (always on paved roads, of course). I replaced them with a new set of Scorchers at 20,000 miles. I'm now at about 36,000 miles and the tread looks like it will last until 40,000 miles so I'm getting about 20,000 miles from each set of new tires. In some of the reviews I've seen here people are saying that they get far less miles than I do but maybe ... MoreScorchers came with my 2017 Dyna Street Bob when I bought it new a little over 5yrs ago.

In any case I'm very pleased with the Scorchers and plan on continuing replacing them with same as long as they continue to be available.
Received the tire not attacked by Freddy Kruger. Easy to install on my old wheel. It's round and holds air like it's suppose to. Very solid tire. Doesn't take long to warm up. Always has good grip in turns. Buying from Revzilla was the best price around
I ride a '16 wide glide with 18K on my rear tire. Front went in 10k. I ride hard and the skinny front tire gets beat. Great tire no complaints. I have been looking for a replacement since spring. Got to love the supply chain.
Just got this to replace the rear on my 15 fxdwg. Its a stock replacement. There is just over 12k on the odometer and the original was done. Hardly any tread across the flat of the tire, wont reach washingtons head on a quarter. Maybe have 1k left? The sides still have maybe 2-3k left in them. The front tire is still great wear wise, ill probably replace soon due to age. I corner fast and hard and the sides of the tire have held up really well. The tire holds up just fine in the water. Ive never had any loss of traction. Most of my riding is on the highway going 80mph+ even in the rain. I personally think the tires have great traction. Onto the order. Got here in 3 days. Date code on the side of the tire is for Sept of 18. Tire was shipped in no packaging at all. ... MoreJust got this to replace the rear on my 15 fxdwg. Its a stock replacement.

2004 Roadster (XL1200R); 80% commute, 20% weekend cruising2nd set of Scorchers. First lasted 18,000 front and rear and still had life it them, but were getting scary in the rain and not as planted around turns. Both tires remained predicable up until the 13-15k mark, and then started downhill, which prompted me to purchase then swap them for new Scorchers. Good looking tire, branded HD. Great handling tire for regular commuting, and holds up well in the turns. I have upgraded suspension front and rear, fork brace, etc., so I do 'corner' on a Harley. Please understand that means edge to edge wear on the tire, but not at the lean angles of a sportbike. These tires held up for a long time, and the cost to age value was agreeable, so I bought another set.

The good: excellent rain performance, excellent grip, nice looking tire that gave a smooth ride and performed well. No issues whatsoever.The bad: at 8K miles they are down to the wear bars. I ride 60% highway, 40% country roads, and always have my tire inflation to spec. A modern multi-compound tire like this should last for 12-16K, which has been my experience with the other OEM brand used by Harley...which I will be going back to.If you're a low mileage rider, you may enjoy the Scorchers. If your miles are high and you don't want to get new tires every year, there are better options.
Great tire for my 2015 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic. I put both front and rear Scorchers on my bike and they feel good in the turns. Getting ready for a 5 state trip so I will get a better idea on that journey! Cycle Gear was competitive on the price and installed it for me for half the price if I brought my own tire in.Dale Smith
