Can I fit lower speed rated motorcycle tires?
Motorcycle tyres withe the M&S mark can be used with a lower speedindex then in your vehicle handbook.
For example when you want to mount on a BMW R 1250 GS offroad tyres.
You can get specific ‘winter motorcycle tires’. These are better known as M+S rated tires. M+S stands for Mud and Snow and tyres that are M&S rated usually have a snowflake symbol on the tyre wall or they will clearly mention M+S. In countries where winter tyres are a legal requirement, motorcycles are required to have them fitted.
In the most EU countries the Speedlimit with M&S Wintertires is Q = 160 km/h

Flat tyres happen on a motorcycle. But how to fix punctures in tubeless tyres - and even if they should be repaired - is a sensitive issue. It all depends on who you ask. The truth is that drivers are constantly repairing flat tyres, but they can clog them indiscriminately if they have limited knowledge of the proper repair process or the risks associated with driving on a repaired tyre.
For motorcycle tires, repairs up to six millimeters in diameter are only permitted on the tread. However, the tire manufacturers advise against the punctured carcass and high driving speeds.
A lasting collaboration founded on the two brands’ shared focus on performance, quality and innovation.
The MICHELIN Scorcher Adventure, for 80 percent road use and 20 percent trail use. The MICHELIN Anakee Wild, for high-performance trail use.
The close working relationship Michelin has forged with Harley-Davidson over the past 13 years is driven by the penchant they share for performance, quality and innovation. Today, more than 40 percent of the motorcycles manufactured by the American brand are equipped with the French firm’s products, and the two companies pooled their respective expertise once again during the development of the Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 which is fitted exclusively with Michelin tires.

Michelin will showcase its new MICHELIN Commander III tyre line-up for V-Twin Cruisers and Touring bikes throughout the weekend of Oct. 17–20 during Biketoberfest® in Daytona at Bruce Rossmeyer's Harley-Davidson. Available for purchase in 27 sizes starting January 2020, the new custom tire line is the official tire of Daytona Beach Bike Week, the World's Largest Motorcycle Event.
Expanding on the highly acclaimed MICHELIN Commander II tire, the newest addition to the cruiser portfolio is designed to deliver exceptional wet grip and extraordinary durability. The MICHELIN Commander III Touring tire is designed to go the distance for Baggers with excellent wet grip and longevity that is designed to exceed its predecessor with new tread compounds. The MICHELIN Commander III Cruiser tire is engineered to deliver outstanding wet grip without compromising longevity compared to its predecessor. The distinctive tread patterns and patented velvet sidewall designs of the new line enhance the styling of all V-Twin motorcycles.
"Michelin developed this tire line to optimize riding enjoyment with a focus on improving the tread life and wet grip versus the already widely accepted Commander II tire line," said Shane Messner, director of two-wheel at Michelin North America. "The commitment to MICHELIN Total Performance™ makes the MICHELIN Commander III tire line the trusted choice for the v-twin community."
The custom-designed MICHELIN Scorcher Sport tyres have been selected to equip the first Harley-Davidson LiveWire all-electric motorcycle. The new Michelin Scorcher Sport tire, co-developed and co-branded with Harley-Davidson, is designed to enhance the ride and handling performance of Harley-Davidson’s first electric motorcycle, leading a planned portfolio of electric two-wheelers aimed to establish Harley-Davidson as the leader in the electrification of motorcycles.
The MICHELIN Scorcher Sport tire integrates Michelin’s innovative Dual Compound Technology (2CT and 2CT+), the most advanced compounds ever used in MICHELIN Scorcher tires. These compounds extend the performance of the MICHELIN Scorcher tire range by providing outstanding levels of wet and dry grip. Along with advanced compounds developed through years of sport radial tire innovation and extensive track testing, this technology enables the MICHELIN Scorcher Sport tire to provide wear resistance in the center of the tread with optimized grip on the shoulders, and also features a radial casing tuned specifically to extract the maximum performance from Harley-Davidson’s newest motorcycle.
The distinctive tread pattern and patented velvet sidewall design complement the styling of this innovative Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
Michelin invests more than $770 million in research and development annually. For this project, Michelin engineers worked directly with Harley-Davidson for two years to co-design the MICHELIN Scorcher Sport tires specifically for the LiveWire. These tires further illustrate MICHELIN Total Performance, in which Michelin is committed to providing riders with an optimal balance of performances, from riding pleasure to safety to longevity.
The MICHELIN Scorcher Sport-equipped LiveWire will be available in 2019 through select authorized Harley-Davidson dealerships in the United States, Canada and most European countries.

The new Dunlop D401T 150/80B16 rear tire features MT Multi-Tread™ technology that uses a long-wearing compound in the center of the tread for longer tread life, and special lateral grip compounds on the left and right shoulders for outstanding grip.
The D401T comes in black sidewall only, and is standard equipment on the 2018 Harley-Davidson Street Bob, Harley-Davidson Slim, Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic and Classic S. It also replaces the existing D 401 on many other Harley-Davidson models, giving owners of these motorcycles more performance in a Harley-Davidson/Dunlop co-branded tire option with MT Multi-Tread.
The 2018 Harley-Davidson Fat Bob and Fat Bob S will be fitted with Dunlop’s new D429 front and rear tires. Utilizing an aggressive scrambler-like tread pattern developed by Dunlop in conjunction with Harley-Davidson, the D 429 features a computer-optimized tread profile to help promote even wear. Like the D401T, the D429 features Harley-Davidson/Dunlop branding on the sidewalls.
Even more Harley-Davidson motorcycles will be fitted with original-equipment Dunlop tyres thanks to the expansion of the Dunlop Harley-Davidson Tyre Series. Dunlop is the only tire company designing, developing, and manufacturing motorcycle tires in North America

Recently, Harley Davidson approved the latest Dunlop GT 502 for its new XL1200 CX Roadster. These two new GT502 sizes feature an all-new radial construction that is designed to suit the sportier nature of the latest Roadster with its dynamic suspension and upgraded braking components.
Harley-Davidson choice to equip its latest Street Rod model with the new MICHELIN Scorcher® 21 is the latest illustration of the mutual confidence and synergies that have flourished between the two companies since 2007 through a partnership founded on the co-development of advanced technologies.
To make sure that it addresses the new Harley-Davidson motorcycle’s technical configuration and owners’ needs as accurately as possible, the MICHELIN Scorcher® 21 necessitated two years of development. The result is a tire that combines outstanding grip on wet roads, stability and smart cruiser styling.
